- [Willow] What are the numbers called that?
- [Peter] It's like the numbers are like a secret lock.
Only if you know the numbers, can you get this off.
'Cause dad's gonna be Santa Claus, ScoMo Clause.
This'll be around my neck, holding my head on.
Pretty funny hey? - Yeah.
- And this chain is gonna go through my Santa's head.
- Why did you cut it?
Why, did you cut it?
- Twice, it actually goes pretty good.
I don't really wanna choke.
(birds chirping)
It's a really...
When the cops try to...
When the cops try to rip the head off,
I'll tell them, "Don't",
and hopefully they don't try to choke me.
But we'll see.
Now what we gotta do is these are the lock-on tubes.
So I've got-- - [Aspen] So heavy.
- It is, it's gonna be hard
to get it on the street, deployed quickly.
I'm Pete, this is my daughter Willow,
and I'm a beekeeper.
(bees buzzing)
Just be, just make sure you're back a little bit,
please darling.
- I want to do that.
- Do ya? - Yeah.
(bouncy whimsical music) Let's give 'em a little puff.
Just do everything nice and slow and gently.
(bees buzzing)
when I first started, I didn't know
whether I was gonna be allergic or not.
I had never handled any bees
but I was determined I was gonna become a beekeeper.
Give 'em one more little smoke down here.
I'll help, I'll stand it up for ya.
Like that.
OK, now they know we're here.
(bouncy whimsical music) (bees buzzing)
Everyone thinks that I work the bees and they work for me,
whereas I feel like I work for them.
So my role is to give them whatever they need
in terms of taking them to the best place
where they're gonna get the best food.
So, they've trained me to do exactly what they want for them
when they want it.
(bouncy whimsical music)
They've done a really great job up here.
And for us this is special because
this is the honey off our farm.
And we've planted plants here
specifically for them to make honey.
We've got manuka bushes that we've planted,
and they're doing a really great job.
(bees buzzing)
We're told that bees contribute
to about 30% of the food that the nation needs.
So without these little bees pollinating those crops,
we'd have a massive decline
in the food available to the population.
What it translates to is,
if we can't grow the food for the population,
there'll be food shortages,
and the people in the cities
who expect the food to come from the countries,
may not see that food coming through.

(radio chatter)
This is Elands, looking down at the Bobin fire
that's going through.
And we're completely surrounded here.
This is the Walcha fire on the other side.
(dramatic music)
Another site toasted.
This year I lost 70% of my hives to the fires.
ML-7. Absolute, complete burnover.
Everything gone.
All of these ones.
Poor little bees.
Oh my god, all the ones you see,
the lids and the straps is what's left.
Just always, it's lids and straps.
This wasn't even really in the bush much.
Site after site, with the same thing.
All the bees gone.
Nothing but lids and metal and charcoal.
And to be honest, I never wanna see that again.
Yep.
(dramatic music)
It just, it really hurts in a way
that's beyond finances or business,
because they actually are a part of my live.
(bees buzzing) (dramatic music)
I love watching bees.
They are building to work together
for the good of the whole colony.
They have no greed.
And the colony survives and thrives
because of this selfless organization.
That is something we could learn from them.
(drum beat)
(welder crackling)
- We feel like we don't have any other choice
than to stand up for what we believe in.
And Peter is able to do that and I can support him
by looking after our kids while he that.
(drum beat) (welder crackling)
- Good luck getting that off coppers.
(upbeat techno music)
Look at that. (upbeat techno music)
(crowd cheering)
I refuse to die with clean criminal record
but a filthy planet.
(fast-paced techno music) (crowd cheering)
I love coal!
Welcome to the Apocalypse!
Merry Rapture Australia!
Yo ho ho!
I'm not a criminal, I think the real criminals
are out there fracking our water,
pulling our forests down,
and a lot of them are wearing suits.
(fast-paced techno music) (carolers singing)
It's the only way forward!
I will be everything on it!
I will bet everybody's life.
Everybody's future!
I just love coal!
(crowd cheering)
I'm not worried about being arrested for this.
I'm worried about catastrophic climate collapse.
I don't like being choked,
but by the New South Wales Police,
it's a privileged.
You wait 'til you see the Rapture!
(fast-paced techno music) (Peter choking)
- [Cameraman] You're hurting him, you're hurting him!
You're hurting him!
(crowd cheering) (fast-paced techno music)
(bystanders and protesters indistinctly talking)
- I built the sleigh and the paper mache head.
- We painted the sleigh!
- I was the police liaison.
- I was actually being support.
- I helped get the props and costumes ready.
- I filmed the action.
- I was filming.
- I was a reindeer.
- I was one of the reindeer.
- I was a reindeer.
- I was an elf.
