Martin Cassiano began his career as a beekeeper at 18. Thirty-five years later, he has become a true expert in the world of bees. Today, he manages 400 hives and harvests 20 tons of honey annually. Remarkably, with a small budget, Martin, his two assistants, and—as he puts it—“nature’s goodwill” keep this modest but thriving business running smoothly.
I am fascinated with bee keeping – not sure I want to attempt it, but a little hive out back would be romantic. I would love to photograph a bee farm – the last photo is really lovely!
Denise: Beekeeping it is one of many things we give for granted. The whole process is amazing. It is most definitely hard work but very gratifying.
