This webinar with Alex Tuchman of Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary is for beginning beekeepers or those who want to start again in a new way: by the biodynamic method. We will begin by placing the honeybees and their keepers in their historical and contemporary context, and then present and discuss the basic options for hive type/shapes, important tools and equipment, considerations for the hive set-up and landscape, and primary guidance for getting started with your bees.
