Hood Bin Saif Al-Alawi 1996 45 minutes PAL/VHS version (VID08). Arabic edition An excellent documentary on beekeeping in Oman. The camera team initially escorts honey hunters to harvest from 'cave-dwelling' bees. Importantly this film carries footage of Apis florea beekeeping in Oman. Specialist beekeepers move the single combs built by Apis florea to artificial 'caves' or suspend them in trees near their homes. The documentary shows how the comb is carefully cut to remove the honey-containing section. The beekeeper will return the brood comb clamped between two halves of a split stick to the original site for the colony to continue. Following on is beekeeping with Apis mellifera. Instructions on how to make and extract honey from a tubl (date palm log hive traditional in Oman), and how to capture a swarm and transfer the bees to this type of hive. The documentary also explains the activities within a bee colony, and management techniques of frame hive beekeeping including centrifugal honey extraction. English edition available (VID07).
