Ellie Harrison visits the UK's first ever native dark honeybee reserve.

Ellie Harrison visits Mount Edgcumbe on Cornwall's Rame Peninsula, where the UK's first ever native dark honeybee reserve has just opened.

Ellie is on the Rame Peninsula - Cornwall's 'forgotten corner' - and visits Mount Edgcumbe, where the UK's first ever native dark honeybee reserve has just opened. Previously thought to be all but extinct in the UK, an almost pure and distinctive population has been identified on the Rame Peninsula, and although they make up only one per cent of the bee population, it is thought they might hold the key to more sustainable beekeeping - Ellie finds out how.

We also catch up with Malcolm Baker, the last traditional fisherman in the Rame Peninsula. Malcolm relies on traditional tools and techniques and his knowledge of the sea to fish like generations of fishermen before him did, but with the world around him evolving at a rapid pace, Malcolm found himself becoming out of touch. However, an unlikely friendship with an Austrian youth worker had unexpected results for them both. Leo Kaserer made a film of the tradition of fishing in the Rame Peninsula with the idea of passing on dying skills to the next generation. The film followed Malcolm helping a group of disadvantaged youngsters get back on track, and the programme shows how they repaired a 100-year-old wooden fishing boat and experienced Malcolm's challenging way of life.

Tom is on the hunt for traditional British craftsmen and women. With many heritage crafts dying out, Tom is keen to find out what can be done to save them.
