There's another good thing coming out of all these domesday documentaries. The general public are getting the idea that bees are not a disposable commodity and that they must be helped and protected. If that leads to fewer swarms and ferals being destroyed, that may be a good thing. When my B & B guests, spooning the honey onto their toast say, 'Bees are in trouble, aren't they?' I can give them the facts but the great thing is that folk are thinking about bees and feeling positive towards them, rather than the old 'nasty stingy things' and long tarrydiddles about when they got stung by a wasp, etc.
