The Queen of Trees | The Wasp and the Fig Tree

The fig tree and fig wasp differ in size a billion times over, but neither could exist without the other. Their extraordinary relationship underpins a complex web of dependency that supports animals from ants to elephants. Each fig is a microcosm -- a stage set for birth, sex and death.

One of the most amazing stories in the natural world -- a tale of intrigue and drama, set against grand Africa and its wildlife.
