BEEKEEPING
Reportage on a beekeeper in Haute-Savoie, France, who produces organic mountain honey. Arnaud has 250 bee hives managed organically. The hives are moved throughout flowering, limiting the risk of coming into contact with pesticides. The beekeeper harvests the honey by collecting the upper frames of the hive. The lower part where the queen is, contains enough honey for the entire colony. In order to limit being attacked by the bees, Arnaud smokes out the hive. The worker bees are alerted by this signal and get ready to leave the hive by eating large quantities of honey as a reserve. The bees are therefore less agressive to man.
