Greek pine honey threatened as wildfires destroy hives and forests

VOUTES, Greece: Standing in the blackened remains of a burnt-down forest, beekeeper Antonis Vakas laments the loss of his trade - collecting Greece's famed pine honey.

A wildfire that raged for nearly a week on his island of Evia razed the land around his village, swallowing up the pine trees and consuming scores of beehives. "The destruction is immeasurable," Vakas said. "Beekeeping has been destroyed. We are destroyed. There is no green anywhere. Bees cannot exist without green."
