I'd never kept bees before,
to photograph a story about them,
که از آنها عکس بگیرم،
to take compelling images,
of our food crops,

a really hard time.
what this problem really looks like.
کشف کنم که این مشکل واقعا چگونه هست.
what I found over the last year.
که در طول سال گذشته چه چیزی را یافتم.

with several different problems,
and habitat loss,

کرم های انگلی آسیایی هستند،
crawls onto young bees
the immune system of the bees,
to stress and disease.
inside their brood cells,
what that process really looks like,
with a bee lab at U.C. Davis

Why you should listen
Anand Varma is a freelance photographer and videographer who started photographing natural history subjects while studying biology at the University of California, Berkeley. He spent several years assisting David Liittschwager before receiving a National Geographic Young Explorer grant to document the wetlands of Patagonia.
Varma has since become a regular contributor to National Geographic. His first feature story, called “Mindsuckers,” was published on the November 2014 cover of the magazine. This incredible look at parasites won Varma the World Press Photo's first prize in the nature category in 2015.
