So I’ve been on YouTube these last few days, checking out all sorts of interesting and informative clips on raising bees, installing a hive for the first time, what’s the best way to not get stung, how to feed bees, etc.
A couple of days ago, a friend mentioned that she was watching a Discovery Channel/National Geographic/Animal Planet special (she didn’t really remember what it was) about a specific tribe in Africa that’s been beekeeping for hundreds of years.
That aroused such an intense curiosity, that I decided to look for this African Bee Tribe on YouTube. What I found was an awesome sight indeed: a group of men in Africa that harvests honey by sticking their bare hands into the hearts of tree trunks, who then grab the wild honeycombs from out of the trees while simultaneously smoking the bees with fires made using the original stick-on-stick rubbing method. It was a feat truly fit for hardcore beekeepers
Here’s another clips I found, that was just AMAZING!
And one final, fascinating clips, this time from Nepal
Enjoy!
