In the first episode, Jimmy discovers the reasons for the reduced numbers, considers the results of a mass bee count across Peterborough and the surrounding countryside, and organises a plan to plant thousands of wildflowers.
Jimmy Doherty goes in search of the Secretary of State for Environment, in the hope of gaining government support for his plans. The programme examines how a radical transformation of the British countryside is needed to create a more bee-friendly environment, and reveals the results of the first episode's efforts to boost bee numbers in Peterborough.
