Being a beekeeper is more than just gathering liquid amber when the hives are full. It is making sure colonies of bees are getting along, and that the little insects are happy and content. Sun Ye talks to suburban honey gatherer Song Xuezhou.

Beijing is not all about urban high-rises, historical sights and gridlocked traffic producing alarming levels of high particulate pollution. It is, fortunately, also home to a growing group of people who are dedicated to producing good, wholesome food that is safe from pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

In the outer suburb of Tongzhou, Song Xuezhou is one of a number of honey gatherers who roam the countryside so their bees can produce honey that is "pollution-free and all natural".
