I watched something about great big bees on Jimmy Doherty's programme last week where he was in Nepal gathering wild honey with the locals

It was a fantastically interesting programme. The lengths those guys go to for this honey are staggering. The honey is worth it apparently  :)

maybe that was the prog you're looking for  :)

Sometimes they repeat programmes like those on BBC4 so it may be worth keeping an eye open  ;)
