An interesting view on Cuba.
The video is in Spanish, but all can understand the beeyard: Outdoor extraction, bicycle pedaled extractor, using 1 liter feeders, pulling uncured honey, etc.

I get asked some basic 101 questions all the time. So I’ve finally made a video that outlines my advice in 5 easy steps.
This summer I had time to go visit with the Texas State Entomologist, Dr. Paul Jackson.
He has a phenomenal collection of bee smokers and the lore that surrounds them. I couldn’t help but make a documentary on it. Granted, a bit sloppy on the editing, but effective.
This one goes out to my friends in Peace Corps and NGOs.
I’m a really, really big fan of Pam Gregory and her beekeeping work. She has also created the best manual for third world beekeeping out there. This 71 page manual is not just about how to do beekeeping in the bush, but the basic life cycle of the bee a beekeeper needs to know, it covers how to harvest, what equipment to build, how to make a bee suit from a rice sack, and how to package honey that will sell in local markets. The real vertical knowledge base a beekeeper truely needs to know to make it.
With foundation grant money from Waterloo, her manual is now released as a free download.
