The Dancing Bees

A visual poem woven from a man's love of beekeeping.

Cornish beekeeper Jo Widdicombe has been keeping bees for 50 years. Through a chance
experience, Jo discovered the thought-extinct European Dark Honey Bee (Apis mellifera
mellifera), and recultivated it back into its native Cornwall.

We take a snapshot into Jo's thoughts and observations, highlighting themes such as bees
being a reflection of common good, unsustainable environmental practices, and the
passing down of his extensive knowledge to new sustainable beekeepers.
