We are part of a living Earth-Community, diverse in its ways of being and knowing. This community encompasses a multitude of life forms, each possessing unique forms of agency, sentience, intelligence, and communication.
Biomimicry is an integral approach that allows us to harness nature’s time-tested strategies to support thriving populations of local honeybees. By observing and emulating the natural processes and adaptations of wild honeybees, we can develop more effective and sustainable conservation practices. This nature-inspired approach helps us create environments and management techniques that align with the bees’ innate behaviors and needs, fostering resilience and ecological balance.
The LocApiary Program is a watershed-centric ecological restoration initiative fostering self-sustaining networks of wild, unmanaged honeybee populations within local ecosystems. It aims to conserve locally adapted genetic stock and reduce the spread of pests and pathogens associated with industrial beekeeping.
What fascinates us about the image of a wild honey bee nest in an old oak tree? This course welcomes participants into the community of free-living honeybees and self-willed ecological processes as a new foundation for reframing apiculture. We will explore new thinking in conservation, approaches for climate change adaptation, and learn about innovative practices that promote self sustaining populations of honeybees. We will explore interdependent environments, learn about apian agencies, and will examine novel frameworks for health and core principles of ‘wilding’.
