Presentation

In this workshop we will look at what needs to be done in the fall in order to let the hives go into the winter as strong and healthy as possible, and also take a look at the winter and early spring months, probably the most difficult time of the year for the bees. We will take a closer look at the various illnesses and probable causes, as well as share our methods of hive feeding, wrapping, and consolidation for best possible over-wintering success.

We take for granted that microbes, plants, animals, and human beings are alive. But does “life” only exist within organisms? Might life be a fundamental feature of our planet? In what sense might we say the earth is alive?
