Ester Garriga: "I like capturing the landscape in a jar"
Ester Garriga is the beekeeper at Mels Cal Pastoret (Moià), a curious and active woman who has been raising bees and collecting honey for ten years. She works mainly in the forests of Moianès and Bages, but thanks to the transhumant hives she transports to the Pyrenees and other locations, she can follow the natural rhythm of the flowering seasons.
Interest in the world of bees entered Ester Garriga's life as a simple hobby when, a decade ago, she bought three hives from a colleague. Today, Ester manages twenty apiaries, each consisting of around twenty boxes. The thousands of bees she cares for have become the central focus of her professional dedication, an apicultural project that she combines with other agricultural jobs.
