"Sugarbag Blues - Top End Bees & Trees in trouble"
The documentary highlights a significant risk to bush health - both flora and fauna - due to what Frank suspects is declining pollination of wild flora.

As a respected aboriginal leader who was born on the land some 61 years ago and who has successfully owned and operated an 800 square mile station, Frank is in a unique position to observe and reflect what he is observing on his country and freely offers his wisdom, richly textured by Indigenous knowledge and culture to warn the broader population of a potentially very significant ecological threat.
