Paynes Southdown Bee Farms:

Working for the Bees

directed by Josh Rosenbaum

Paynes Southdown Bee Farms has been in the Payne family for almost a century. From the hives that dot the countryside to the small jarring room, every stage of honey production takes place on the family’s property outside of Brighton, England. Beekeeper and co-director Roger Payne takes us on a tour of the farm, which was founded by his grandfather in 1922. “As keepers of bees, we’re really just running around them, making sure that their every needs are attended to,” says Payne. “They’re in control of us. Definitely.”
