WHAT IS SAID ABOUT THE FILM?
"The documentary What happened to the bees? Is very important, it gives the opportunity to put on the table everything that happens in relation to bees in other regions, since it can be seen in many places, where we cannot go , and hopefully people can join us in defending the rights for the bees and the people that day by day struggle with it for the environmental well being. Not only is the fight of the peasants or the beekeepers, the defense of bees must be a fight of all for our environment, for the conservation of our forests and our medicinal plants and for the peasant economy. "

Our message is that through this organization incredible things can be achieved or that at some point they may seem complicated. First of all, the organization of the Mayan communities managed to get this issue to the Supreme Court, which was magnificent. It is also a reference to how the bees work in a community, in the hive, everyone cooperates as a team to sustain their hive.”

" The growth of this agricultural model is soaking up other towns as well as affecting their day to day such as the beekeeping lifestyle which is beneficial not only for the economy but also for the land and as an identity. For that reason I decided to document what is happening and what is happening even faster"

“My relationship with bees is something very beautiful, because it is something ancestral that comes from generation to generation. For me the relationship with bees is to relate to all of nature: we are talking about water, mountains, air, everything. The bees are something that gives us life, that give us sustenance and I feel they are part of us, I love them like nature itself, because I take care of them and they give me profit. ”
