Bees and Bears. The challenges of bee keeping and breeding in Finland.

Back in April 2021, we spoke to Markku P, an urban beekeeper living and working with bees in Finland.  After a bit of a summer break, we can now share this wonderful interview with you.  Marrku is passionate about bee genetics, and a particular supporter of the black honeybee (Apis Mellifera Mellifera), believed to be the indigeous bee of Western / Northern Europe.  We also hear about some of the challenges posed by some of Winnie the Pooh’s cousins.  More information and pictures from Finland can be found on our website at www.livingbeeing.com
