Morocco, where it all started ...for me...

[Veracity]

This is where it all started for me... A trip to Morocco, I was supposed to go to Marrakesh on this day but I found out about a beekeeper not far from Tiznit in southern Morocco, Marrakesh could wait…

...As a documentary photgrapher I had to visit the keepers.

These are great pics, the bees are drawing out the plasticell well. It looks like they had no problems accepting it. Thanks for sharing.:)

Hi, we were beekeeping at Kenitra for a week last February. As hobby beekeepers from the UK we wish to study traditional keeping in the south of Morocco. Do you have any info or contacts from your visit
