Charlie Bee Company

Bee Expansion
Monday, September 1, 2025, 8pm

Charlie's doubling down on bees! First, he deep-cleans the BeeMobile, then gears up for growth with a haul of historic hives from Llano. After a chainsaw warm-up and a date night with Kaye, he heads to Buzzfest--a major bee event--where Texas beekeepers gather. But before he can mingle, three intense removals in one spot call for serious horsepower.

Bee Migration
Monday, September 15, 2025, 8pm
 

Charlie dives into the world of migratory beekeeping, from Texas to California. He learns to forklift buzzing pallets (nearly dropping one!), helps select strong hives for travel, and loads bees onto trucks bound for almond pollination. In Fresno, he stages hives in the orchards and faces the pressure of nighttime loading. It's a wild ride with the largest insect migration on Earth.

Texas Heat
Monday, September 22, 2025, 8pm
 

Charlie's feeling the heat--literally! With temps soaring past 100F, he tackles hives in a junked car, an RV, and a hotel crawling with bees. Sharp bamboo, punji sticks, and a roasting film crew crank up the chaos. Then it's off to Houston for a towering six-story hive removal with pro Bee Man Dan. It's stings, sweat, and serious altitude in this action-packed episode of bee mayhem.

Forced Absconds
Monday, September 29, 2025, 8pm
 

Charlie's a bee removal pro--but one technique keeps stinging his pride: the forced abscond. To master it, he heads to Brenham to learn from the Texas Friendly Beekeeper, then teams up with Apimaye's Korhan Kaftanoglu to try out insulated hives. With fresh skills in hand, he faces a tough ranch job with three colonies, including one giant oak tree that puts his new calm technique to the ultimate test.

This stunningly cinematic five-part series, hosted by paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi, takes us back in time to meet the inventors of the modern world. For most of our species’ history, there was no written record, but now with remarkable new fossil evidence, the latest discoveries in DNA sequencing, and other cutting-edge scientific tools, we can piece together clues to better understand our past. Viewers will discover how closely related we are to the other, now-vanished human species, and see how the traces they left behind reveal just how “human” our prehistoric ancestors really were.
