Discussion with beekeeper Mieczysław Białobrzeski: Who can keep bees? How to buy good honey? after the screening of “Honeyland” by Ljubomir Stefanov and Tamara Kotevska
In Polish only
How is it done and could anyone become a beekeeper? Why do beehives appear on city roofs, even in the center of Warsaw itself, not just in remote fields and orchards? What’s good to know while choosing and buying honey? How to tell multiflower honey from canola or linden? And how to buy “real” honey – that’s the key question!
Mieczysław Białobrzeski runs a completely organic bee farm in the Massuria region, utilizing only traditional, nonindustrial methods and giving the bees tender, loving care. His honey is all natural, unheated, no sugar or water added. He harvests honey twice a year – in May and July.
