Watch maya land: listening to the bees on Soap2day. A story about the environmental conflict between GM soy growers and Maya Beekeepers in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico.

The film explores the pre-colonial and ongoing relationship between Maya people and their environment, in particular the milpa agricultural system (and its main crop, maize), sacred sinkholes (called cenotes), and sacred stingless bees, the Melipona.
