Webinar

Tuesday, August 4, 2020 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm CT

Join Women, Land & Legacy and Women Caring for the Land for a fun and informative virtual soil health 101 session. We'll network, learn about soil basics, showcase soil health demonstrations that you can do at home, and share how to get assistance with installing conservation practices on the land. Each participant will receive a soil health info. package mailed to them after the event, which will include nitrate test strips.

During this live stream event, Michael will go step by step through the process of making vertical and horizontal log hives and share lots of video footage, necessary tools, and other resources.

Tuesday, July 21, 2020, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm EST

Hosted by Jonathan Powell, Natural Beekeeping Trust, UK, Cheyanna Bone, USA, and Michael J. Thiele, Apis Arborea, USA.

Salon #13 will feature the work of Apis Arborea. The topics will touch on current projects/visions and program development at Apis Arborea. Michael will share some contemporary inquiries into rewilding and foundational implications of the prevalence of wild Apis Mellifera in the US and (only partially known) wild dynamics.

In this time of accelerating global extinction, we are asked to stand up for life and to awaken to new biotic and spiritual identities, complexities, and entanglements. Supported by pioneering entomological research and traditional practices, arboreal apiculture opens the way into a holistic apian cosmology and re-homes ethics, natural life gestures, and bio-centric designs.
