Pati's Mexican Table

S12E01 The Nectar of the Mayan Gods

Pati travels to the enchanting town of Maní to delve into the sacred relationship between the Mayans and their bees, particularly the endangered Melipona, a stingless bee indigenous to Yucatán. She is welcomed by a cooperative of women dedicated to preserving these bees, who invite her to partake in a Mayan energy cleansing ceremony featuring buñuelos made from Melipona honey. Following this, Pati visits a family practicing the "Solar Maya" lifestyle, cultivating all their own food in harmony with traditional methods.
