Tumultuous Transport
A jeepney shuttles commuters through the streets of Cebu, Philippines, in July 2025. The country's popular mode of transportation emerged decades ago when American troops left Willys Jeeps behind at the end of World War II. Today, slightly bigger buses have replaced those jeeps, and their drivers are known to be quite aggressive in order to make their way through the city's busy streets.Secrets of the Bees
National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory explores the extraordinary lives of bees, which are among the planet’s most important animals.

With more than 20,000 bee species pollinating one-third of the world’s food, this series uncovers their astonishing architecture and intelligence, unlocking their secrets.
