BEEKIND, 11min. Canada
Directed by Olivia Bronwyn
Follow Gregg Scott and the keepers of Circling Hawk Honey & Mead, as we’re taken under their wing to get an up-close look at the species so relied upon by our kind. Beekind gives insight on the nature of the honeybee as a member of the colony, their interactions and relationships to each other and to humans, as we look within, and take one big sustainable step back. We’re welcomed into Circling Hawk, the business and home of Gregg and Michelle Scott, our owners and operators, and caretakers of the 25 acres of land. Alongside their two protégé’s Julia and John, they take us on their journey as stewards, artists, and guides to the life they lead at the apiary. A life of peace, love, and earthly balance.

Three years on, and she’s still alone - a social animal, a primate, just like us; how has this isolation affected her mental state?
