Abstract	Heathland beekeeping is one of the oldest rural crafts. All the necessary apicultural operations throughout the year can be experienced on one of the last remaining major skep bee farms in the North German heathlands and on the migration stands in the Lüneburg Heath and Alte Land. The meticulous documentation on swarm apiculture, filmed between 1978 and 1983, is not only of interest to beekeepers, apiculturists and apiologists but is also of value to regional geographers and ethnologists.
