Palm trunk beekeeping.

[michael pigneguy]

“The Al Aufis are loyal to the traditional palm trunk technique of beekeeping, which, they argue, allows for the production of a cleaner and purer honey than modern methods. Bees are transferred from a natural hive to the hollowed-out trunk of a palm tree. They’re sealed inside along with a wax disc, which serves as a template for them to follow as they resume work in their new home. ‘You know a hive is healthy and active when it’s so crowded that bees start circling the outside of it. That means the honey is ready to be extracted,’ explains Al Aufi.”
