Shaped by decades of economic restrictions and a national shift to agroecology, Cuba\u2019s honey production is almost entirely organic, sourced from wildflowers that lend it a unique flavor. Through the streets of Havana, Laura Rivalta introduces us to beekeepers and farmers who share insights into these practices, while University of Glasgow researcher Emma Shannon reflects on the differences faced by bees in Scotland and other countries. Cuban Bees showcases the importance of sustainable apiculture within Cuba\u2019s agrifood system, celebrating resilience and ecological balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This short documentary is coming to Dublin,  at the Pearse centre, Pearse street, Dublin  6.30 .
