The "Saveurs Gourmandes du Périgord" program featured Benoit Serre and Romain from the Marandou apiary in Saint-Avit-de-Vialard. The broadcast aired on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Benoit Serre's journey into beekeeping began with a single hive, the last surviving one from his grandfather. Now, fifteen years later, he manages around 330 hives, advocating for artisanal beekeeping. After a car accident forced him to change careers, Benoit reconnected with his family's beekeeping legacy, initially saving his grandfather's hive. He trained in beekeeping, collected wild swarms across Dordogne, and quickly expanded to 31 hives within months. Today, he operates about 330 hives across fifteen locations near his farm in Saint-Avit-de-Vialard, a transition he cherishes.
