The importance of Manuka trees for beekeeping in New Zealand

The arrival of spring is a crucial moment for beekeeping in New Zealand. It is the beginning of the flowering of the Manuka. A tree found in many of the region’s habitats, from the lowlands to the alpine climates. A flower that is appreciated by the bee “Mellifera Mellifera” and that is a symbol of re-conquest and independence for the Maori culture. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 - The Manuka trees ▷ 0:03:49 - Checking the health of beehives #wildlife #animals #newzealand #sea #bees #nature #travel #agriculture #wildlifeplanet ------- Watch the full documentary here: https://youtu.be/0xikRHKF3DE Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- In New Zealand, beekeepers roam hundreds of thousands of acres daily to tend to their bees scattered across community and sacred lands. Ever since it appeared nearly 80 million years ago, the bee has occupied a special place in evolution. Untiring worker, essential to the development of vegetables, it is one of the foremost species maintaining our equilibrium on Earth. Mankind is fascinated by its perfect organization and its incredible reproduction process. And the relationship between people and bees throughout the world is equally plural. In a world where the climate is changing and biodiversity is gradually disappearing under the effects of “human activity”, the bee is in danger and so is our relationship with it. This series is equal to this exceptional story and to the last men who are still sharing a close life with the bees for their mutual survival.
