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.

Original title: Master of Bees - Bees in service of faith (Ethiopia)

    I was there; it was a historical and spiritual place. I loved the place and the people. ❤ God bless Ethiopia.  ❤
  • The country that 1st accepted Christianity as a state religion. They kept the same practices for 100s of years. Their only objective in life is to live by the word of God which makes them some of the nicest people in the world. I have been there. They would share what little they have with you. Material stuff does not mean much to them. Civilization does not always lead you to happiness. Your relationship with God always does. God bless! By the way, the healing power of the honey from the church incredible and many in Ethiopia testify to it.
  • I love my homeland of Africa. Our culture our faith or ways are so RICH!

    Thank you for sharing this short beautiful video. It encompassed so much detail not one short film. I was deeply moved as a beekeeper to see these small moments into others lives around the world. Those sacred churches with the bees in them was enough to renew one’s faith. Truly reverential and holy. It is true that it would seem they live with little in the way of money, but they are wealthy in culture and beauty.
