Often, he appears on TV and in the press on matters relating to beekeeping. Because of his depth of knowledge beekeepers travel from all over the world to learn from him. One time when I visited him we were joined by some beekeepers from Venezuela eager to learn from him. Now he is largely retired from day to day activities but still has some involvement. Now his son Dani and son in law Ruben do most of the beekeeping, meticulously following the practices that Antonio laid down, based on four generations of experience..
