Melipona and Mellifera bees in the Mayan culture | Master of Bees (Mexico)

Separated by thousands of miles - some in the sticky heat of Borneo in Indonesia, others in the chilling cold of the Urals in Russia - for centuries these men have shared a common heritage: the love of risk. With the honey trees where the wild bees hive standing at over 100’, harvesting the precious nectar is always a matter of life and death.

Ever since it appeared nearly 80 million years ago, the bee has occupied a special place in evolution. Untiring worker, essential to the development of vegetables, it is one of the foremost species maintaining our equilibrium on Earth. Mankind is fascinated by its perfect organization and its incredible reproduction process. And the relationship between people and bees throughout the world is equally plural. In a world where the climate is changing and biodiversity is gradually disappearing under the effects of “human activity”, the bee is in danger and so is our relationship with it.

This series is equal to this exceptional story and to the last men who are still sharing a close life with the bees for their mutual survival.
