The bees of Notre Dame

The World

One strange thing to come out of the Notre Dame fire are bee colonies. The honey bees living on the rooftop of the French 13th century national monument survived.  Not only that — they’re thriving. Host Marco Werman speaks with Sibyle Moulin, who looks after the bees through her company, Beeopic.
