All beekeepers must be prepared for the loss of a colony, but it’s not always easy to get support that goes beyond the conventional judgements.
When we dig deeper into the complexity of the relationships involved in honeybee health, we can conclude a more holistic understanding is necessary in order to promote vitality and longevity in our apiary.
This online class provides guidance from the Spikenard biodynamic perspective for forming a healthy relationship to parasites, pests, viruses, and diseases affecting the honeybees. A holistic approach to honeybee health will be the point of departure as we discuss our experience working with formic acid, oxalic acid, pest ashes, Bee Tea, and planting medicinal flowers and herbs for the bees. The experience of biodynamic beekeeping shows us that a deeper understanding of the pest-host relationship can contribute to supporting a healthy and vibrant immune system in our honeybee colonies.
This online class provides guidance in beekeeping tasks through the spring and summer months, from swarm catching and growing the apiary to heath checks, expansion, wax management, and more. This is the third class in our four-part series on basic beekeeping and is intended as a continuation of Principles & Practices of Biodynamic Beekeeping. Topics covered include:
Gathering to learn of Steiner's ideas on the Three-Fold-Social-Life: the Cultural/the Economic/the Rights Spheres
-Rudolf Steiner asserted in 1924 in the Agricultural Course:"For Agriculture is sadly hit by the whole trend of modern spiritual life.
You see, this modern spiritual life has taken on a very destructive form especially as regards the economic realm though its destructiveness is scarcely yet divined by many."
-We shall grapple with Steiner's book on the 'Social Question' with Pat Stevens presenting on
Come join us for an exciting workshop focused exclusively on the principles and practices of top bar beekeeping!
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
A morning snack will be provided, but please bring your own lunch.
This is Spikenard's basic class in biodynamic/sustainable beekeeping methods. This workshop will offer in-depth advice for those who want to have bees and for those who had bees and want to start again.
