The life and times of Brother Adam , an 89-year-old Benedictine monk of Buckfast Abbey, Devon, who has spent 70 years trying to breed the perfect honeybee.
By the Hand of Man, part one of this three-part film biography, recounts how acarine disease wiped out the entire British black bee population and led
Brother Adam in 1925 to establish the world's first bee-mating station in a remote Dartmoor valley.
