“You see, when one realises that the bees receive very many influences from the starry worlds, one sees also how they can pass on to man what is fitted for him. All that is living, when it is rightly combined, works rightly together. When one stands before a hive of bees one should say quite solemnly to oneself: “By way of the bee-hive the whole Cosmos enters man and makes him strong and able.””
-Rudolph Steiner
Beekeeping Classes + Consultations
My intention when teaching about keeping bees is always centered around the question “how may we work with the bees?” as opposed to the thought process of the bees working for us. I want to harness the relationship between the bees and the tender of the bees. How can we allow the bees to thrive with minimal intervention? We must listen to not only their needs but the needs of the land that they reside in. In my classes you will learn a natural approach to beekeeping and how we can be stewards for the bees and the land.
Apitherapy
Apitherapy is the practice of using bee products such as honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom for disease prevention and treatment proposes. It is used commonly to help with chronic autoimmune disorders such as Lyme disease, MS, rheumatism, and other inflammatory conditions. Apitherapy has ancient roots and has been used by cultures such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Chinese for millennia. This practice for me means truly honoring the medicine of the bees while being able to help those in need in a natural way.
