Brother Adam - where are the detailed methods?

[dano41]

Fusion power interesting stuff and yet again proves the need for someone to contact some of the people who worked long term with Brother Adam and can remember what exactly his working methods were.In Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey page 55 in the closing down for winter section it says
"All our colonies are usually wintered on ten combs.A further contraction is of no beneficial advantage.
I emailed the late Peter Donovan a few years back several times but no luck.

While the thread is being allowed to drift a little, does anyone have information on the footage recorded by the BBC when Br Adam and various associates visited the isle of Athos?

In what format was it broadcast; stand alone programme or as a segment of another? The only information I've seen is a relatively brief outline of the trip in the aforementioned 'For the Love of Bees' but it seems quite clear that it's not anything to do with the York Films production.
