memelihara lebah sebelumnya,
I'd never kept bees before,
to photograph a story about them,
untuk memotret sebuah cerita tentangnya,
mengambil gambar-gambar yang menarik,
to take compelling images,
lebah-lebah sendiri.
of our food crops,
tanaman pangan kita,
a really hard time.
mereka mengalami kesulitan.
what this problem really looks like.
seperti apa sebenarnya masalah ini.
what I found over the last year.
apa yang saya temukan setahun kemarin.
from its brood cell,
setengah muncul dari sel induknya,
dengan beberapa masalah yang berbeda,
with several different problems,
and habitat loss,
dan kehilangan habitat.
is a parasitic mite from Asia,
adalah tungau dari Asia,
crawls onto young bees
marayap pada lebah muda
the immune system of the bees,
sistem kekebalan para lebah,
to stress and disease.
terhadap stres dan penyakit.
inside their brood cells,
di dalam sel induknya,
what that process really looks like,
seperti apa prosesnya,
with a bee lab at U.C. Davis
dengan lab lebah di U.C. Davis
in front of a camera.
di depan kamera.
the first 21 days of a bee's life
21 hari pertama kehidupan lebah
as it hatches into a larva,
sewaktu menetas menjadi larva,
swim around their cells
berenang-renang di sel mereka
that nurse bees secrete for them.
lebah perawat untuk mereka
slowly differentiate
mulai terbentuk
running around in the cells.
tungau berlarian di sekitar sel.
develops in their eyes.
di mata mereka.
is their skin shrivels up
kulit mereka mengerut
through that video,
di pertengahan video tadi
on the baby bees,
di sekitar bayi-bayi lebah,
typically manage these mites
mengurus tungau-tungau ini
ke dalam sarang lebah.
itu adalah kabar buruk,
on finding alternatives
mencari alternatif
alternatif-alternatif yang ada.
Lebah Dept. Pertanian AS di Baton Rouge,
at the USDA Bee Lab in Baton Rouge,
are part of that program.
adalah bagian dari program.
a natural ability to fight mites,
alamiah untuk melawan tungau,
a line of mite-resistant bees.
garis keturunan lebah-lebah anti tungau.
membiakkan lebah di laboratorium.
to breed bees in a lab.
using this precision instrument.
dengan alat presisi ini.
memungkinkan para peneliti
which bees are being crossed,
lebah mana yang akan disilangkan,
terlalu banyak pengontrolan seperti ini.
in having this much control.
mite-resistant bees,
lebah-lebah anti tungau,
started to lose traits
mulai kehilangan sifat-sifatnya
and their ability to store honey,
untuk menyimpan madu,
with commercial beekeepers.
dengan peternak lebah komersial.
one of his 72,000 beehives.
72,000 sarang lebahnya.
beekeeping operation in the world,
operasi peternakan lebah terbesar di dunia
mite-resistant bees into his operation
lebah anti tungau ke dalam operasi mereka
that are not only mite-resistant
yang tidak hanya anti tungau
that make them useful to us.
yang membuat mereka berguna bagi kita.
and exploiting bees,
dan mengeksploitasi lebah,
for thousands of years.
selama ribuan tahun.
and put it inside of a box,
dan meletakkannya di dalam sebuah kotak,
so that we could harvest their honey,
kita bisa memanen madunya,
our native pollinators,
kehilangan penyerbuk aslinya,
where those wild pollinators
di mana para polinator liar itu
demands of our agriculture,
penyerbukan pertanian kita
an integral part of our food system.
bagian utuh dari sistem pangan kita.
menyelamatkan lebah,
our relationship to bees,
hubungan kita dengan lebah,
the basic biology of bees
biologi dasar dari lebah
of stressors that we sometimes cannot see.
yang kadang tidak terlihat.
to understand bees up close.
memahami lebah lebih dekat .
