Termites
A 60-minute documentary about termites and the way they live and relate to each other.
Approximately one third of the surface of the continents is covered by forests.
Trees are, above all, extraordinary energy accumulators. They capture sunlight and store its energy in the form of wood in their trunks, branches and roots.
There are very few animals capable of feeding on wood.
Termites stand out among them.
Termites are social insects, and their society is organised into castes: workers, soldiers, and primary and secondary reproducers.
Their extraordinary organisation, as well as their close symbiotic relationship with bacteria and protozoa, have made these tiny insects one of the most important inhabitants of forests.
