The conference in 2021 will take place digitally and will be organised jointly by the Youth Section and the Section for Agriculture. With this digital format we want to make an exchange of views and true encounters possible, and look forward to meeting many participants from all over the world.

How can we breathe in the climate crisis? How can we understand the climate crisis at an ecological, spiritual and social level? Can the earth actually still bear my footprint?

Monday, May 25 10 am - 2 pm EST

All beekeepers must be prepared for the loss of a colony, but it’s not always easy to get support that goes beyond the conventional judgements.

When we dig deeper into the complexity of the relationships involved in honeybee health, we can conclude a more holistic understanding is necessary in order to promote vitality and longevity in our apiary.

Honeybees and varroa mite

This online class provides guidance from the Spikenard biodynamic perspective for forming a healthy relationship to parasites, pests, viruses, and diseases affecting the honeybees. A holistic approach to honeybee health will be the point of departure as we discuss our experience working with formic acid, oxalic acid, pest ashes, Bee Tea, and planting medicinal flowers and herbs for the bees. The experience of biodynamic beekeeping shows us that a deeper understanding of the pest-host relationship can contribute to supporting a healthy and vibrant immune system in our honeybee colonies.
