Die Honigfrauen von Yucatán - Las damas de la miel

Overview

In a village on the Yucatán Peninsula, women preserve an almost forgotten heritage: the culture of the stingless Melipona bee, which was revered as a sacred animal by the Maya. The documentary follows Evelyn and her cooperative in the struggle for biodiversity, cultural knowledge and a new role for women in a patriarchal society.
