2005 90 minutes (VID35)

This film is an engaging blend of science, natural history, adventure and biography telling the remarkable story of Brother Adam, who spent a lifetime trying to breed the perfect honeybee. From the Benedictine Abbey in Buckfast, UK, Brother Adam directed an incredible global enterprise. He searched Europe, the Middle East and Africa for genetic material from which he ‘synthesised’ the world-beating Buckfast strain. This culminated in an extraordinary expedition, undertaken in his 90th year, to hunt the elusive black bee of Kilimanjaro. Filmed in the Buckfast apiaries, the German Alps and the mountains of Tanzania, this is a fascinating insight into the workings of the hive and the genius of a great bee master.

Brother Adam died on 1 September 1996, aged 98. The Monk and the Honeybee is a tribute to his extraordinary life.
