Intro To Natural Beekeeeping

Our first Intro to Natural Beekeeping class was a success!  The weather was gorgeous and the turnout of eleven students was perfect for an intimate setting.  The bees were amazingly docile.  We were fortunate enough to have a swarm land on our coyote brush the day before the class (WOW!) so the students had the opportunity to install the swarm into the new hive.  Everyone was enthusiastic and engaged with lots of questions.  We definitely learned that three hours is not enough time to cover all the material.  The next time we offer this class it will be five hours or longer with a nice break for lunch.  Thank you to all who came out.  We enjoyed spending the day together sharing, connecting, and learning about bees!

Therefore go, my Peoples Hive, go into all the gardens...

Go and give the children 

some nourishing sandwiches, 

and give the grown ups wellbeing in body and mind.

Go and remind everyone of the necessity of work,  

the gentleness of unity, 

the beauty of devotion, 

the prosperity 

of countless families.  

Go and fill every fireside with honey and happiness.

Mella fluunt tibi.  -Abbe Warre
