Apia-Sophia – Honeybees for Life

Join bee-whisperer Michael Thiele, founder of Gaia Bees, for a journey into the deeper workings of the remarkable species of Apis Mellifera, Honeybees, in this exploration of biodynamic apiculture. Learn about relationships, social decision making, sustainability, and survival through the inherent wisdom of the hive in this moving presentation suitable for all bee-lovers, from beginners to practicing beekeepers.

The intrinsic value of bees goes far beyond honey and pollination. Living with honeybees provides an opportunity for us to step into a creative field of finding new ways of living. They can be a resource in our quest for healing the earth, finding new sustainable ways of living, and healing.

In this bee-centered seminar, Michael will discuss alternative hive designs, working with natural comb, biodynamic management techniques, self sustaining apiaries & design, hive health and more.
