Moving Bees, Razing Cane & Wildlife Winds

Moving Bees
Moving day can be tough. Especially if your family numbers in the thousands. Watch a bee specialist relocate a hive of European honey bees, giving them a safe new home where they can keep on buzzing.

Razing Cane
Texas Rivers and stream are under attack. The invasive Giant Reed threatens pretty much every river system in the state, but biologists are fighting back. We focus on the pristine Pedernales River and see what it takes to knock back this towering cane invader.  

Big Wind, Big Questions 
Texas leads in the country in wind energy production, and with this new energy source there are new questions. What will wind farms do to the already fragmented habitat here in Texas, and how will they affect the birds that live and migrate through our state. We look at the Panhandle wind farms and their effects on the threatened lesser prairie chicken. 

Postcard From Texas
Whether under sun or clouds, in detail or at a distance, the views in Davis Mountains State Park are always scenic.
