This is the story of a corner of paradise nestled between the mountains and the sea of Sicily and of a beekeeper, Rosario, who at the age of 6 saw for the first time a swarm of bees hanging from a peach tree. He was enchanted.
That buzz, that much fibrillating activity to produce, that natural mechanics that works so well. A hymn to awakening and to life. And Rosario, that same vibration that he feels in his ears, in that moment, he also feels in his heart. And his father sees it and understands: his intuition tells him that his son's is not a temporary whim of a game, but a real imprinting with nature and one of its main actors: the bee.
She decided, therefore, to support this passion and connection that Rosario has with these little insects and their habitat by asking a trusted beekeeper to mentor her son.
Rosario, thus, learns to look beyond the filter of his own reality and to interact with the world of the tiny: the logic behind which these little creatures built their home, made of the same matter they themselves feed on, a home that can protect and nourish every member of the bee community, each with its own role within a perfectly structured ecosystem. Rosario has learned how to interact with this world, respecting its rhythms and needs.
