Abstract

This article explores the intricate relationship between the living cultural practice of tree-beekeeping, and its role within culinary heritage and food systems in Poland. By illustrating how tree-beekeeping is woven into the fabric of forest ecosystems, this article highlights how intangible cultural heritage custodians have forged a unique approach that not only sustains biodiversity but also fosters new ways of perceiving natural landscapes.
