In Brazil, Guarani beekeeper Marcio Karai is dedicated to protecting native stingless bees, preserving the traditional knowledge of his indigenous community. However, these bees face increasing threats.

On the outskirts of São Paulo, Karai sets up a new hive for stingless Mirim bees. As a member of the Guarani, one of South America's largest indigenous groups, he has inherited the knowledge of caring for local bee species. "Our elders are very concerned about the disappearance of these species," Karai states.
