“For some reason, everyone thinks that a beekeeper should be a man, but that’s not the case here,” states Ketevan Bluishvili, a beekeeper from Matani village of the Kakheti region in eastern Georgia. In some regions, women are even explicitly banned from beekeeping, but in Ketevan’s family, beekeeping is a tradition. Both her parents had been beekeepers, and she took over the family production of honey in 2009.
