Slovenia, in bee heaven

In this episode of Meanings of Cohesion we travel to Eastern Slovenia. Whilst the rest of the world worries about the decline in bees and the impact on food production, Slovenia has succeeded in reversing the trend over the past few years. Today, the country has become a veritable paradise for the yellow and black insects, cared for by more than 11,000 passionate beekeepers like Andreja Stankovič. As well as looking after the queens and their colonies, she teaches others the ins and outs of beekeeping and the secrets of the Slovenian model.Also in this podcast: an interview with Quentin Ariès, editor in chief of Babel International NGO.
