SUMMARY:The Honeybee and the Household of Nature
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Day\nWhat is the right relationship between humans and honeybees? Drawing on Jennie Durant’s “Bitter Honey: A Political Ecology of Honey Bee Declines” and other recent research\, Pfeiffer Center beekeeper Bill Day will begin the day by examining the history and current state of the honeybee in relation to the household of nature in North America. What can the story of humans\, honeybees\, and agriculture in America teach us? The answers may surprise you. \nNext we will cover how to assess your hives for winter readiness\, and how to address typical late-season issues. After a classroom review\, we will visit the Pfeiffer Center garden to open some hives and practice what we discussed. \nAfter lunch\, we will walk to one of the beeyards in Threefold Community Farm for an open conversation about all things beekeeping. \nThere will be ample time for discussion throughout the day. Please bring your questions and observations! \nInformation\, and to register: Visit this page.

SUMMARY:Conscious Beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:Practical Organic Approaches for Healthy Bees and Growing ApiariesWith Bill Day\nIn this special half-day workshop\, we will review the basics of how to create conditions in which our bees can thrive\, including hive location\, forage\, managing Varroa\, and deterring bears. Then we’ll cover essential springtime tasks: Assessing hive strength\, recognizing problems\, supering\, and making splits. Weather permitting\, we’ll spend much of the morning at the hives in the Pfeiffer Center garden. \nBring your questions and observations! There will be ample time for discussion. \nBonus afternoon session: After lunch\, you are welcome to join us for an optional walk to one of the bee yards on the farm for an open conversation and demonstration. \nBill Day cares for the Pfeiffer Center’s 25-hive apiary and conducts beekeeping workshops for the Pfeiffer Center and at PASA’s annual winter conference. He has kept bees following biodynamic principles for about fifteen years. \nInformation\, and to register: Visit this page.

SUMMARY:Grow Your Apiary Naturally with Splits and Swarms
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Day \nGet off the package treadmill!   \nIn this half-day workshop\, Pfeiffer Center beekeeper Bill Day will present the biology of queen-rearing and swarming (the honeybee’s natural form of reproduction)\, and how to apply that knowledge to catching swarms and making your own splits. Weather permitting\, much of the workshop will take place in the Pfeiffer Center garden\, where Bill will demonstrate the techniques discussed in the classroom.   \nYou will leave this workshop with clear guidelines on how to propagate your own hives and “get off the package treadmill.”  \nBill Day has been keeping bees for fifteen years. He is the beekeeper and beekeeping instructor at the Pfeiffer Center\, and also keeps bees at Bluefield Farm in Blauvelt\, NY.

SUMMARY:Conscious Beekeeping: Practical Organic Approaches for Healthy Bees and Growing Apiaries
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Day\nWhat can beekeepers do to help our bees thrive and flourish? Starting from a consideration of the honeybee colony from the biodynamic point of view\, we will look at swarming as an expression of the bees’ vitality • healthy rhythms of life in the hive\, and how to support them • learning to discern when to intervene and when to let your bees work out their problems on their own • working with top bar and Warré hives • the Varroa mite • and more.  \nAmple time will be left for discussion and questions. Weather permitting\, we’ll visit the Pfeiffer Center’s apiary\, where techniques discussed in the classroom will be demonstrated.  \nBeginning beekeepers are encouraged to also attend Friday’s half-day introductory workshop.  \nBill Day has been keeping bees for fifteen years. He is the beekeeper and beekeeping instructor at the Pfeiffer Center\, and also keeps bees at Bluefield Farm in Blauvelt\, NY.  \nTHIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
