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’.

In this workshop we will explore the many different types of beehives that beekeepers can make, and learn how to work with each of these. We will also weave a Sun Hive together out of rye straw and learn how to make the cow dung and clay paste that we use for extra insulation. We will be learning about and experiencing the different qualities of honey, wax, and propolis; we will dip candles together, and celebrate the growing light of Candlemas time with the queen bees who start laying eggs again at this time of year in anticipation of the season to come!
