      I have studied movies and in nature programs they "cheat" a lot. But they do not cheat by filming it inside a zoo or something like that ..
      In this and many other clips, they are likely to film several different bees and larvae in nature within a week or two and then they cluster them into a single story.
      The female who has sex with the invaded male is probably not the same female they filmed in the nest. The larvae born in the beginning are not the same larvae who eats nectar in the end. Everything is just cut together.
      When it comes to the equipment, they use mini cameras that you place on narrow tubes or metal threads that you can bend and insert.

      @@GoldSrc_ Enough with the snarky attitude. Listen....there is no life on mars or venus. I rest my case about earth's distance from the sun being perfect for life. God created it that way for you to truly accept that we are not by chance but by design and with purpose.
      Natural selection cannot be your God, because it only hypothetically ELIMINATES bad genes/species, but does not give rise/create anything new. Hence later adherents to the religion of atheism added "mutations" but no mutation makes God's creation better....only worse. There are no examples of positive mutations, all mutations are disadvantageous. Case in point chernobyl.
      Furthermore, just look at the fossil records, species are the way they are since millenia. No intermediate forms found. Proof is in the pudding.
      Consider Irreducible Complexity: in a verse of Quran God says He created everything in "pairs"
      Look at the symbiotic relationship of bees and flowers. Without 1 the other ceases to exist. How can something that is irreducible be the result of natural selection via adaptations? Look at the sophisticated mechanisms within the body of the bombardier beetle. Without the COMPLETE system God placed in its body to defend itself against predators, it would cease to exist and nothing could give rise to it.
      My advice to you pick up a quran and read it with an open heart. Don't sell yourself short, don't waste your life in this world and the next. Islam is the fastest growing religion on Earth for a reason. Why? Most new converts are women and the highly educated. Why? Michael Hart ranked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the #1 most influential personality in History. Why?
      Most likely you know someone who is muslim. Have a chat with them and maybe you will come to understand why and perhaps you too might see that there is no evidence for atheism, only the one true Creator. And to Him we will all return.

      Series was released back in 2005. Before then not many documentaries featured insects because the camera technology wasn't good enough to film them, you need cameras with tiny lenses to film on this scale.

    • @tcironbear21
      @tcironbear21 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Do you mean evolution? Are you asking how this process is not irreducibly complex?
      The first beetle larvae could have started out as accidental passengers and evolved to being more active seekers of rides. Or perhaps when the environment was more wet, the larvae actively hunted the bee burrows on their own without tricking them into rides. From there the pheromones might have evolved as a way of inhibiting defense response.

    • @turboshaft1959
      @turboshaft1959 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Zabidi the larvae that accidentally hitched a ride on a bee were far more likely to reach adulthood and reproduce. Larvae that clustered up on sticks and/ or smelled like female bees were more likely to attract a bee. So these functions were passed on to a much larger amount of offspring that then repeated the process.
