Double Bill: Migratory Connectivity Project: Songbirds Return | Honey Hunters + Q&A
part of Wildscreen Festival 2016
Please note: This was screened in Oct 2016
For millions of years bees have been laboriously building the natural environment of our planet. Today they are dying on an unprecedented scale. Urban beekeeping and reintroducing the tradition of wild-bee keeping - keeping wild bees in forests - seems one of the ways of saving them. Maybe by reaching for the past, and the original environment and model of co-existence of bees and people, can help us save them?
Followed bya Q&A with Dorota Roszkowska, Krystian Matysek & Michał Białożej.
