The fabled honey forest where hives are set up on tree platforms | Master of Bees (Turkey)
In the home of the Lazes in Turkey, the climate has encouraged the growth of a dense and varied vegetation, offering ideal conditions for bees. But they are not the only beneficiaries: major predators, lovers of honey, are also numerous.

Ever since it appeared nearly 80 million years ago, the bee has occupied a special place in evolution. Untiring worker, essential to the development of vegetables, it is one of the foremost species maintaining our equilibrium on Earth. Mankind is fascinated by its perfect organization and its incredible reproduction process. And the relationship between people and bees throughout the world is equally plural. In a world where the climate is changing and biodiversity is gradually disappearing under the effects of “human activity”, the bee is in danger and so is our relationship with it.
This series is equal to this exceptional story and to the last men who are still sharing a close life with the bees for their mutual survival.

Mustafa connection and respect to other species is heart warming
i can sit and watch documentaries like this for hours. beautifully done. beautiful turkey and it's people.
God bless you Dear Mustafa and Your family and your neighbours Ameen❤
What a enchanting magical place. Mustafa connection and respect to other species is heart warming ..thanks for sharing this wonderful video ❤❤
You have a natural, simple and beautiful life. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love it story of faith and spirits
What a nature... Unbelievable paradise.
One of the more magical beekeeper setting. Great job of the filming, story telling. Highly recommend this. Beautiful. I've worked a bit with the Caucasian bees. Similar to the Carniolans. A bit longer tongue. 7.3mm compared to 6.6-7mm. The Carnis overwinter better and I think can fly in lower lighting. I'm surprised there was no mention of the Laz people's use of propolis. Honey fed bear steaks? Sign me up!
Watching video from Ireland, very good video about bees, the sparrowhawk was very steady , a fine hawk.
What a beautiful video, I luv to watch, Thanks
I really enjoy your vids., bee keeping all over the world.
Sweet Angels alight on these beauties
What An Awsomely GREAT Video 👍👍👍👍
Great Honeytale .An eye-opening video and Loving it ❤❤.
simply great....loved it.
This made me cry, it's so pure.
Dude speak of the bear like a genius. He probably never came across Dolphins and Orcas.
Wow
Ma Sha Allah. Amazing people and amazing place. May Allah reward them immensely for the hard work.
Thank you for interesting video. Best beekeeping greetings from Ukrainian beekeèpers.😮😊😊

Seems like a hidden kingdom there in the mountains,a long way away from other more unsettled parts of Turkey

Sorry about my mistake: The Beekeeper's name is Mustafa! I like his little stories & experiences in 🇹🇷 mountains near the Black Sea! ❤ Gule Gule!
The most wonderful story, including camerawork and narration, that I have ever enjoyed on the Internet; I was transported to heaven! Somewhat unironically, I have long dreamed of visiting and maybe even living in Trabzon, which I believe is not very far from this beautiful place.With luck, I might meet Mustafa and the incredible beekeepers of Eastern Anatolia.

@@user-mg2ip8cr8z That doesn't sound surprising! The central location on a crucial waterway means the Anatolian Peninsula gets every empire in history drooling. You can bet Putin has his eyes on expanding south wherever he can!

I wonder why Wocomo's contents are so overlooked? they definitely deserve a lot more views and subs
Amazing insight! Would like to try a tree hive someday
By seeing this I remembered the Mostofa of the story Beekeeper of Aleppo which makes me cry really its amazing
we love you Mustafa

As humans we are truly cut from the same cloth, in South Africa most black people believe bees are angles/ancestors that protect us. its interesting to learn that the Lazes of Turkey believe the same.
@ Just Alex these are cool.
$100 a pound! That's pretty sweet!
It’s a wonderful place he does independently, if he die one day will continue his honey making venture

It only takes one strand of cheap visable poly wire and a solar electric fence energizer to deter bears.

Might have to get creative with the solar panel placement but it looked like they were getting enough light through at a couple of the sites they showed. In the footage of the bear it looked like there was an electric fence, but it clearly wasn't deterring that particular bear.
Man we have it easy here. I'm complaining about varroa mites, and this guys gotta climb 20 ft into a tree to work his girls. Nuts.

Rhododendrons are so many and so different. In one species, leaves and nectar can be poisonous, while in other species, they can be rather healthy. Pyrenees: R. ferrugineum honey produced exclusively at altitude.

Exactly how US army built their nest in philppines to extract their honey
: No disrespect to the beekeeper.🙏 2:50 - The use of smoke will obviously make the bees go calm, hence they wont sting anyone, if disturbed. 3:15 - I'm sorry but it looked like that bee, stung his head. see the bump on that part. 21:00 - " Sue the bear "? - Did he mean hurt it? This is encouraged by everyone in the room... 23:00 - The honey must be harvested, only if the honey filled combs are sealed right? I love the content overall. Its encouraging, to continue beekeeping. 🙌
It´s so funny that the "bee" in 0:45 is actually a fly

Hilarious. Clever editing. Really dislike romanticizing beekeeping. Opening scene the guy talks to his bees saying they'll never sting him. He then proceeded to pick up a few bees by hand and they flew right into his forehead. Next scene, you can see on the forehead where they stung him. Lol

Not all Rhododendron honey is created equal. Quite a few are perfectly fine and non-toxic.
I am seeing that this old man is always working very hard but his son is not so work hard
I hate how these documentaries use a commentator with a "cute" earnestly in their voices.
