Made by Hand is a new short film series celebrating the people who make things by hand — sustainably, locally, and with a love for their craft. So far we’ve seen The Distiller and The Knife Maker. Today we meet The Beekeper. 

Local farmer Megan Paska has witnessed beekeeping as it morphed from an illegal (and possibly crazy) habit to a sustainable, community-supported skill. Mirroring beekeeping’s own ascendance, she found more than just a living: “This is the first time in my life when I’ve just felt absolutely on the right path.”
