Mirca and Tinca Dumitru, 64 and 61 years old, from Braila, worked all their lives in a factory. Before retiring, they built up their stock of hives and made a “lodge”. Today, they own nearly 200 hives but do not migrate any farther than the sunflower fields on the peninsula of Braïla, a few kilometers from their apartment. For them, beekeeping is more than just a supplement to their pensions.
