Secrets of the Bees Premiere Set for Disney+, Hulu, and National Geographic

National Geographic has announced the next installment of the Emmy-winning “Secrets of” franchise, Secrets of the Bees, with all episodes streaming on April 1 on Disney+ and Hulu. The series will air on National Geographic on March 31 at 8/7c.

Hosted and narrated by BAFTA and Emmy-winning National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory, Secrets of the Bees uses groundbreaking filming technology to reveal the extraordinary world of bees.

With the expertise of entomologist and fellow National Geographic Explorer Dr. Samuel Ramsey, the series uncovers their astonishing architecture and intelligence, unlocking their secrets and featuring never-before-filmed moments.

“For its fifth anniversary, ‘Secrets of’ turns its lens to one of Earth’s smallest yet most vital heroes: bees,” says executive producer James Cameron.

“Far more than pollinators, bees are socially complex, fast-thinking individuals and the most important insects on our planet. Their impact on the natural world and humanity is immeasurable, and we’re only just beginning to see how extraordinary they truly are.”

National Geographic’s Secrets of the Bees will kick off their Earth Month initiative in April 2026 as part of a global storytelling moment, inviting audiences everywhere to discover, experience, and celebrate the wonder of our natural world — sparking a deeper commitment to protect it.

Secrets of the Bees is produced by Silverback Films for National Geographic. Emmy Award-winners James Cameron and Maria Wilhelm for Lightstorm Earth are executive producers.

For Silverback Films, Alastair Fothergill and Huw Cordey serve as series producers, and Nadége Laici serves as producer and director. Pam Caragol is executive producer for National Geographic.
