Abstract
Gbaya - Beekeeping and Honey Hunting portraits practices of traditional beekeeping and honey hunting in the Adamaoua Region of Central Cameroon. The film follows an accomplished beekeeper, Jean Sardi, who lives in a village near Ngaoundéré on a beekeeping excursion to a remote Savanna area. Together with his adolescent children, the beekeeper demonstrates the manufacturing of a traditional beehive from palm leaves and grass, the harvesting of honey from such a hive as well as the salvaging of honey from wild living honeybees. The beekeeper gives important information on his practice and situates it as an element of Gbaya culture.
