Traditional bee-keeping in Lithuania. The bee museum in Musteika village, Dzūkija national park, Lithuania. 15.9.2009. RUTH IP http://ruthip.wordpress.com
In old days in North-Europe (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Russia), and still some places in Lithuania, people kept wild bees for producing honey. They did this in an old large pine tree. This man is lighting up fire in a traditiona way using steal, flint and a mushroom from birch to make smoke to get the bees out of the tree before he takes out the honey.
