Description: Tree beekeeping culture includes knowledge, skills, practices, rituals and beliefs connected to wild bees breeding in tree hives or log hives in forest areas. Tree beekeepers take care of bees in a special way by trying to minimize any interference with their natural life cycle. There are also numerous social practices and culinary and medicine traditions deriving from the practice. Transmission takes place mainly within tree beekeeping families and through brotherhoods and the practice fosters a sense of community belonging and a shared awareness of our responsibility towards the environment.
