The Banas were beekeepers well before becoming farmers ten years ago. Ownership of the trees bearing the hives predates land ownership and it is passed down by inheritance. So, on the land of Oïta’s concession, there is a tree holding a hive but Oïta owns neither one nor the other and in no case can he cut this tree down without the hive owner’s permission. Karo people, Omo valley, Ethiopia

To try to defend the colony from this incessant predation, the bees fight back by forming a cluster on the flight board. They thus save a few foraging bees returning after gathering nectar and pollen from the flowers. France

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - Children of the sun, a hive's activity is intense when the temperature rises above 15° Celsius and when the flowers produce an abundance of nectar. The nectar is secreted by the flowers to attract the insects who thus ensure the flowers' reproduction by transporting the pollen from the pistils to the stamens.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - A bee on the newly-built wax cells. We can see the different sizes of the cells for the males and for the others bees. The males' cells are a third bigger. Their width is 8.75mm and their depth 16-17mm as opposed to 6mm and 12mm for the worker bees' cells.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - The coming and going of bees during a massive return to the hive. A bee transports 20 to 30 milligrams of nectar and carries out 3 to 10 flights per day during 10 to 20 days of activity. A hive has between 100,000 and 200,000 foraging bees and thus harvests between 60 kilos and 300 kilos of honey per year.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - In the hive between two parallel honeycombs. The bees store the nectar in the wax cells and, fanning it, transform it into honey by lowering the moisture level from 80% to 17%. The buccal exchange between bees, the trophallaxis, plays a role in the making of the honey through the addition of enzymes.

Lumpsucker or lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus, eating salmon louses, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, from a young Atlantic salmon, Salmon salar, on salmon farm. Lumpfish is a species of cleaner fish, so called due to its natural behaviour removing and eating skin parasites from other species of fish.Sea lice are naturally occurring ectoparasitic copepods that attach themselves to marine fish and feed on mucus, skin and blood of their host. The salmon louse - Lepeophtheirus salmonis is of particular concern as it causes major health issues for farmed salmon including fin damage, skin erosion, wounds and a reduction in overall health and performance. If sea lice numbers are sufficient death can also occur. The treatment of them is currently dependent on a range of anti-parasitic chemical treatments, both bath and in-feed. The continued reliance and discharge of these chemicals combined with concerns about increasing resistance to their efficacy has led the salmon farming industry to introduce biological sea lice control with the use of cleaner fish that eat the sea lice from the salmons skin. Ballan wrasse and lumpfish are the predominant species used as cleaner fish, with a current heavy demand placed on wild capture fisheries to fulfil this demand despite the advent of farming for both species. Cleaner-fish, such as wrasse or lumpfish, live in the same cages as salmon where they attack and eat parasitic sea lice. generally have to be put into the cages in a ratio of 2 to 3 wrasses for 100 salmon. These cleaner fishes are used regularly to control sea lice on salmon farms in Scotland, Ireland and Norway.

They were about 2000 to take turns along the route to say NO to the industrialisation of the French forest and to shout loud and clear that the forest is not a wood factory.
