Asante Nyuki (Thank You, Bees) is a short documentary that follows Jason, a dedicated Kenyan beekeeper, as he travels to Nepal to meet the Gurung honey hunters and witness their ancient tradition of harvesting wild honey from 300-foot cliffs using hanging bamboo ladders. Experiencing this unique cultural practice, he reflects on the vital connection that must exist between bees and humans, whether it be in his apiary in Kenya or in Nepal. Set against the stunning Kenyan and Nepalese landscapes, Asante Nyuki urges viewers to respect and celebrate the essential role bees play in sustaining life across diverse communities and ecosystems.
