The Beekeeper | Submission For World Nomads & One Seed Expeditions Film Competition
Channel: Brende
Date: 2018-07-11

This short Film is a submission For the World Nomads & One Seed Expeditions Film contest. I interviewed Catherine De Medici JaFFee (Cat JaFFee) who is a National Geographic Explorer, storyteller, Founder oF House oF Pod, Founder oF Balyolu: The Honey Road in Turkey, and last but not least, just an amazingly kind human being.

Cat lived in Turkey for seven years where she researched the way humans have harvested honey dating back to 5,000 years ago. She started Byolu as a way for local villagers to raise money so they could support their families and not have to move to the city for work. She does so much for other people and works so hard to help others tell their stories. 

I was honored to be able to tell her story.
