“I have known Jon for many years. He creates for the love of it with no obvious goal. He sees the world very differently from everyone else. He tends to favor magic over fact. He has a unique spin on everything. Even the most mundane conversations can quickly slip into time travel or how his dog, Teddy, has a magical aura. Aside from all of his wonderful creations, the most overwhelming characteristic about him is his heart of gold. He is a polite, timid soul that would never say a bad word against anyone. He is a shy character so after he agreed to make the film we were unsure how he was going to react. But he opened up a lot more than what we expected. We recorded endless conversations. He offered up photos from his past and was happy to reshoot the final shot on three separate occasions until we got it right.

BEEWILDERED COMPANIONS is an immersive ethnographic study on the socio-material entanglements of humans and honeybees in times of globalized diseases. Triggered by the migration of a small bee parasite from Asia, the culture of beekeeping in Europe today is deeply shaken. The search for new and better practices is also a struggle of different imaginaries regarding the ontological status of the honeybee as domestic or wild. Can and should a serious disease be controlled by medication or breeding? Or is it better for humans to give up control, as in the long lost craft of tree beekeeping? Only in the deep forests of Bashkiria the tradition is still alive. The cultural appropriation of this knowledge in Central Europe could be an important pillar for a sustainable solution to the crisis. Three multisensory-observational and three plurivocal-discursive chapters juxtapose the diverging inner attitudes with the corresponding practices of animal care.
