My Nonprofit Reviews

I took a one week dee keeping and biodynamic class taught by the wonderful people at Spikenard. Each day we had lectures by thoughtful and knowledgable staff on all aspects of beekeeping, bees, and biodynamics. We experienced the sanctuary in an intimate way. We visited hives and examined the internal life of the bee in its hive. we captured and installed 2 swarms during our stay. We did hands on activities to understand biodynamic techniques and preparations to enliven the soil of the farm. We were provided wonderful lunches prepared by the staff that were simple and wonderful. Fresh bread, soup, main dish and desert were served each day. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience and what I was able to learn in my time at the sanctuary. This is a very special place that I encourage any person interested in learning about what they can to do help our environment and bees to attend.
