Louie Schwartzberg: The hidden beauty of pollination

submitted by geo321

1 decade 3 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

Pollination: it's vital to life on Earth, but largely unseen by the human eye. Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg shows us the intricate world of pollen and pollinators with gorgeous high-speed images from his film "Wings of Life," inspired by the vanishing of one of nature's primary pollinators, the honeybee.-YT

The good footage starts at 3:15.

Moving this video to geo321's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*promote the beauty we miss out on

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by my15minutes.

Some *quality flying at 3:50.
Odd to me that they include birds, bees, bats, moths, and butterflies, but leave out flies (unless he mentioned them in the talk, I admit I skipped right to the good stuff). Maybe not as pretty, but flies pollinate many flowers.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by newtboy.
