The Beekeeper

High in the hills above Squam Lake, third-generation apiculturist Arthur Pendelton manages over fifty active hives. As environmental changes alter bloom cycles across New England, Arthur's traditional techniques face new challenges, requiring him to adapt century-old practices to protect his colony's survival.

Shot over six months on 16mm film, The Beekeeper explores biodiversity, generational land stewardship, and the subtle rhythms of rural New Hampshire life. It serves as both an intimate character portrait and a quiet tribute to the delicate balance sustaining our local food systems.
