The man whose life was saved by honey bees

Beginnings. Join the crew from the BBC Studios series Dynasties
on a journey to Senegal, home of Fongoli chimps. Each year, these
chimps brave intense wildfires that ruin their homes. Destructive
though they seem, these wildfires are actually part of the cycle
of life. The stories in this episode embrace what it means to
discover our roots, to begin again and the trials some animals
must endure in their very first stages of life.


Very few of us get up early enough to hear the birds sing in the
dawn and even fewer of us decide to sing back. English-Finnish
vocalist Hanna Tuulikki calls back to the birds.


Eric Grandon, a military veteran, explains how caring for a
colony of bees turned his life around after suffering his darkest
days having returned home from war. 


Finally, the BBC Springwatch team recount the harrowing journey
of a tiny great tit named 'Plucky'.


Close your eyes and open your ears for the first episode of the
BBC Earth Podcast.
