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

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - Microchips are used by researchers to mark the bees and identify them with a scanner at the entrance to the hive or near the nurse bees. In that way, it is possible to monitor the bees' activities on an individual level. The times they go out, etc… Research Center HOBOS, Würzburg, Germany.

Ochre in the Bruoux mines (Gargas). The colorful cliffs of the Pays d'Apt Luberon are made up of ochre sands, themselves composed of 80-90% sand and 10-20% ochre. This very fine ochre is a mixture of a white clay, kaolinite, and iron hydroxide and oxide, which give the ochres their color. This coloring matter is used in the manufacture of paints, coatings and other whitewashes, as well as in many other industrial products. After extraction, the ochre sand is washed and the resulting ochre is dried before being sent to the factory for grinding, calcination and packaging. France

A farewell from those who are leaving to those who are staying. The winterers have just spent 13 months at Concordia, and it's time for them to go home. Their departure from the station is a heartbreaker for everyone. Note: this photo was taken during the 2020-2021 summer campaign, the first summer campaign to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The overwinterers who are about to return to mainland France have not yet really been confronted with the reality of this pandemic: they have only heard about it through their families and the media.
