Traditional Japanese Honeybee Beekeeping in Kozagawa, Wakayama
30min|HD|2019|English Subtitle Production SHINKAI Rika, Maximilian SPIELGELBERG, Christoph RUPPRECHT (Research Institute for Humanity and Nature) Filming/Editing SAWAZAKI Kenichi (Living Montage) Most of the commercially available honey in Japan is produced by European honeybees. European honeybees were introduced into Japan in 1877, and are widely kept since then. But native wild honeybees (Apis cerana japonica) also live in Japan. We do not have a precise history of beekeeping of Japanese honeybees, but at least from the Edo period (17 century-), beekeeping was practiced in mountainous areas. In particular, the honey produced in Kumano, the southern part of the Kii Peninsula, was famous enough to be depicted in the ‘Nihon Sankai Meisan Zue (Special Food Products in Japan)’ (published in 1799). In Kozagawa town (Wakayama Prefecture) in the Kumano area, "traditional" Japanese honeybees beekeeping is still practiced today. This film takes a look at the relationship between honeybees and local hobby beekeepers, honey harvesting, and how to build hives and swarm catchers.
