  • @SteffenAaskoven thanks

  • the music in this amazing does anyone know what the songs are that are used in this!!! the time lapse is also incredible!!

  • amazing

    

  • Amazing beauty and patience to connect with the soul of life. Thank you. Some of the most fascinating real life footage I've ever seen.

  • As a bee keeper and advocate for protecting our environment this was a wonderful view into the littlest and most important of critters on our planet. We have southern-hive bees (alabama) and to say that our bees are africanized hybrids and are nasty is incorrect and simply not true. If you were a bee keeper you'd know this.

  • Colony collapse is all BS. It is a cyclical event and Mr. Louie Schwartzberg, contact Extension Apiarist Eric Mussen, He would be happy to supply you with more than enough information on bees. This is not something that should be taken lightly, if everyone tries to save all the wild bees it could become a problem. The ones in the wild in the southern states, are Africanized hybrids and are rather nasty ones to keep. If people start to do this "save the bees" nonsense, people could get hurt.

  • Why can't people just enjoy and act mature.

  • anyone get a boner from this???

  • My Fav 3:20 time lapse footage. Wish it was filmed in 1080p HD.

  • 3:50 a hummingbird doing barrel roll, how cool is that !

    Nah, I love nature and hate man

  • Leaned about long-nosed nectar bats, the bat that lives off of cactus flower,cool.

  • wow, this is amazing stuff; macrophotography AND slo-mo! Also, as a previous commenter suggested, do yourself a favor and go to 3:15. I probably wouldn't have stuck around that long...

  • subhanAllah =)

  • @essaraha ...has nothing to do with this

  • @gauravraturi Take a look at the channel info, there is a e-mail address there. You wont get any answers from just posting here.

  • 3:15 to skip through the poetic bullshit and get to the time lapse footage.

  • @kmica2008 What is bullshit to you my friend is interesting to those who respect the skill, time and money it took to make this video, which gives the filmmaker the right to introduce his work and explain why he was motivated to create such a great work of art. There again, I guess you wouldn't understand the importance of foreplay either...just get to the action and satisfy yourself in 30 seconds aye?

  • wow!!! Love this! Beautiful work!!!

  • Truly spectacular footage... so incredibly beautiful.

  • beautiful images

  • i had no idea that bats do that...makes them look 10X cuter.

  • i have allergies so i cant really appreciate this :/

  • Absolutely incredible and surreal footage.

  • magical. I want more!

  • This guy sure has a fetish for plant sex. xD

  • Stunning

  • Incredible!

  • this is BEAUTIFUL. i love it so much :)

  • @mitchelnext First 3 mins were just perfect for me. He is damn cute and that super awesome Lisp gave me multiple eargasms.

  • Pretty pictures, but not enough science. Need more talk.

  • Wow. That was amazingly beautiful.

  • That music alone is amazing.

  • great video

  • Why isn't this episode of TED in HD? I'm going to have to track down and buy that film.

  • Do a barrel roll 3:50

  • @bertthebetrayer "barrel roll"

    Awesome. Watch the bug too!

  • when is this available to buy- amazing footage

  • 1080p would look pretty mesmerizing with shots like these. Wow, look at that bat carrying the baby. Oh and I loved the shot with the spider and the Hummingbird at 3:45, that's one of the prettiest things just barely escaping from one of the scariest things.

    Overall I'm not sure I'd call myself an environmentalist, but this did give me some wonder and awe about nature.

  • Comment removed

  • was i hallucinating or was a fucking bat carrying its baby around in flight ?

  • I have to watch this in HD (720p) ir better en FullHD (1080p)... If any one knows were can I find it ;)

  • Translation: Plant sex makes me horny.

  • according to imdb the name of the documentary isn't "wings of life" but

    "Hidden Beauty: A Love Story That Feeds the Earth"

  • The hidden beauty of pollination. You haven't missed out anything. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing it on youtube. Best wishes.

  • I don't like hippies & I don't like most environmentalists for several good reasons but there has always been one argument that I just can't argue against. Let's say you absolutely don't give a shit about the environment & all the animals...you really don't care. Now, why should you support productive conservation efforts? Because it helps you. In the end, making sure there is clean air & clean drinking water ensures you can keep doing whatever makes you happy. Help keep the planet in top shape.

  • Yep i take pollination for granted :S TED just keeps going to new lows

  • such a tiny beautiful world of their own

  • when is this going to be released?

  • I've seen some TED talks that were in HD. Why the hell isn't THIS one?! :-(

  • A standing ovation indeed ...well deserved ...goosebumps all over

    Brilliant photography! ...I think I saw a momma bat with young as she fed on a cactus flower

    thanks for sharing

  • That guy was going crazy in the back near the end of video. No one wonder those critters inspire Pixar to make great movies.

  • 4 people really don't like honey... :(

  • This video needs to be 1080p!!!

  • I love to have sex but im no pollinator. no reproduction for me thank you. nature has just broke when it made me.

  • that was some awesome footage

  • I love this.

    thank you.

  • @SheHasALovelyMinge

    yea,, the post work kinda does take away from the wonder..

  • Damn, those bees are nom nom nomming the shit out of those flowers!

  • Would have loved to seen this in 1080 HD ; )

  • @3:16

    

  • The time lapse is surreal. 

  • nice video

  • He isn't lying when he said nothing lasts forever. There'll be lotsa neat discoveries in the far future and too bad we won't be around to experience it.

  • I want to find the short cut and favoirte it

  • Fuck pollination. It makes me sneeze! =p

  • Thuffering thuckatach!!!

  • isn't it spelled pollinization?

  • @mazdaplz Both spellings are correct, although pollinization first appeared a bit earlier than pollination. And according to my UK English spellcheck, pollination is the spelling used in British English.

  • LOVE this video!

    *favourited!

  • @cristoretornebiblia which one?

  • @cristoretornebiblia Not to your comment, but regarding the fact that "This comment has received too many negative votes." Really? Really? A totally non-combative shout out to one's believed Creator gets negative votes? I love how so much of TED is about tolerance and so much of it is aimed at those narrow minded conservative Christians, yet you read the comments and all you find are narrow minded liberal athiests.

  • "It's like the canary in the coal mine - If they disappear, so do we".

    I can't help but think that he has slightly misunderstood his own simile.

  • Comment removed

  • and where to download "Wings of Life"?

  • Beautiful! Thank you!

  • Cool video

    ‘It reminds us we are part of nature and that were not separate from it.’

  • Ive seen many beautiful "things" in my life, nothing comes close to this! ...This has moved me to tears, once again. ;o)))

    To any children or adults who hate insects, before you stand on them or squat them....THINK AGAIN!

  • @2010FuckUTube I actually find insects revolting, I had to skip the close ups of the bees to save my self from an utter feeling of disgust just from the sight of them. However, that's not to say I don't understand their importance.

    :)

  • Excelente trabajo de luz y sonido, ante todo demuestra el espiritu de la vida animal con el mundo vegetal. Gracias. Digno de compartir.

  • eye orgasm ><

  • @IdoloR Indeed!

  • @IdoloR

    You should get some eyedrops for that.

  • those hummingbirds remind me of dolphins

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful.

  • i want wings :(

  • @defect530

    I want to be a humming bird.

  • /watch?v=GWbMrPCrjWQ

    a much better soundtrack for this in my opinion

  • Last year I grew a giant pumpkin and had to self pollinate it.

    This process is very simple and it is so similar to the way humans have sex it is unreal.

    The male flower stem looks like a penis and the female plant flower looks like a vagina. This learning experience taught me that we have to have evolved from this planet and this planet is who we are.

    I have pictures and enjoyed a smoke after the pollination.

    Peace

  • @CosmosPrivateer

    A lot of evolution across the planet has come up with remarkably similar methods, even on isolated continents/islands where they evolved separately over thousands of years. Have some more smoke and check out some docs on Evolution, it is always a fascinating subject!

  • @CosmosPrivateer @CosmosPrivateer You, my good sir, have been awarded the hefty amount of WWW1,000 Internets for your efforts in bad-ass comment making.

    captionsearch . com / pix / w3vt3ll3qu . jpg

  • @CosmosPrivateer Are you saying you had sex with a pumpkin?

  • @RushRedRain

    No I helped.

  • @CosmosPrivateer Hey Cosmos, what did you do with the chocolates ?

  • Brilliant from 3.15 on - Talk at the start is a bit silly, but well worth hanging on for the film.

  • Beautiful! Made me cry a little bit.

  • wow

  • Humans, take note, life is beautiful.

    We are the only species on this planet that is able to truly appreciate and acknowledge this beauty.

    Please stop killing each other and the planet.

    kthnxbai.

  • he uses alot of "th" :D

  • I thought I read "The beauty of POLLUTION" haha That would make an interesting video for sure.

  • @triforcelink haha yeh, something like soot patterns on leaves

  • @triforcelink Same here! XD

  • @triforcelink It WOULD be an interesting video, actually. Pollution is the same as Terraforming really ...putting a man-made atmosphere into a planet. For Earth, sure it's gross, and endangers us, but for other planets - for our colonies - it would be beautiful Pollution :)

  • moo

  • I really like TEDtalks; it's a series that imparts knowledge amongst all these brain-dulling videos on YouTube. Kind of motivates me, it does.

  • ... this just brings me back to how we are busy with the politics crimes wars and lies and how they dont allow us to enjoy the simple beauty of life ... :/ what a pity that we humans alwasy seek ways to destroy control and have more power than other people and eventualy we are always stuck in a visious cycle of hate revenge or simply seeking even more power ...damn i hate us humans ...cant we just enjoy peace and freedom ?

  • @sashakid i guess that peace and freedom are too much to stay unabused ...

  • press 5

  • I'd like to know what the music is, anyone know the title?

  • Who knew pollination was all about badass stunt flying?

  • moo

  • @WiseMonkey888 :| how can you know that for sure?

  • anyone else thinking of conker's bad fur day?

  • first! primo !
