The Decline of Traditional Beekeeping Basket Weaving in Greece
In Greece, the art of weaving beekeeping baskets is in danger of becoming obsolete as fewer beekeepers prefer traditional methods. Dimítrios Stamatákis reports on a conversation with the last basket weaver, Mavroúdis Arampatzís, who laments the decline of this ancient craft. Despite the intricate techniques involved, modern preferences have led to a decline in demand, threatening the survival of this cultural practice.
