This video shows the making of tree bee-hive, an ancient European tradition of beekeeping in a cavity created in a live tree.
Tree beekeeping is returning to many parts of Europe, promoted by freethebees.ch and many other organisations that support more natural forms of beekeeping (gaiabees.com in the USA )
