I thought this documentary studying the life of an ant colony on BBC4 last Saturday was superb (I was away at the weekend and have only just watched it):

The use of microtechnology in observing and monitoring activity in the colony was impressive, and it was fascinating to see the way in which ant problem-solving strategies are assisting the development of solutions for very complex activities including space travel.
Highly recommended - a day or two left on iplayer.
