A window into Afghan beekeeping

Risking (and not entirely avoiding) a million little stings, I ventured out into the Afghan countryside to peer through the window of Afghan beekeeping, and chat with the beekeepers who are doing far more for the country than simply producing honey. Please see the below video:

Sayeed and Sanaie look like two old boys from up the road. Nice to think beekeepers are the same the world over.

That was well worth watching. Thank you.

Thanks for this.

Though I wonder if the opium producers might have an ulterior motive for 'switching' to beekeeping (pollination services and a bit of honey on the side...)
