Biodynamic Beekeeping in the Blue Ridge: Who Are the Honeybees? What Do They Need? How Can We Serve Them?

Alex Tuchman

Sunday · 2:15 pm–3:30 pm

These are the central questions that guide the work at Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary, a biodynamic farm and education center located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Floyd, Virginia. Join Alex for this dynamic presentation of the art and science of beekeeping, including history, physiology, the relationship between the bees and landscape, and all the ins and out of the biodynamic beekeeping practices that have been cultivated for the last 100 years.
