In spring 2011 Carole Brown and Ken Bishop were “volunteered” to take part in a short film about beekeeping for the Guardian website. The opportunity came about when a friend of David Smith was talking with the filmmaker, Edwin Hasler of Soft City Films, about bees and the enthusiasm and dedication of beekeepers. Inspired by the idea he approached the Guardian and was commissioned to make this short film that now appears on the Guardian website.

Great clip. Well done Carole and Ken. Your love of bees and beekeeping comes across so well in this little film.
Many thanks for this excellent demonstration in such beautiful countryside !
