SUMMARY:Celebrating and Exploring 100 Years of Biodynamic Beekeeping – Alex Tuchman – Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Online Only\n7 pm Pacific\nLecture Description:\nOne hundred years ago, on Feb 3, 1923, a group of workers engaged in building the Goetheanum asked Rudolf Steiner about the difference between bees and wasps. Steiner’s answer to this seemingly simple question led to a magnificent series of lectures called Bees, concluding in December of 1923, and running concurrently with another very important series of lectures called Man As Symphony of the Creative Word, which provides essential context for understanding the nature spirits and forces at work in the natural world.\nIn 1923, modern beekeeping was about 50 years old, dating from the invention of artificial queen rearing which has become standard conventional practice. Beekeepers were modernizing and adopting new technologies quickly, using Langstroth hives, wired and stamped foundation, and feeding sugar.  In his lectures on bees, Steiner warned of the short-sightedness of these new methods and predicted the collapse of honeybees if these extractive practices were to continue, which has since proven true.\nThis presentation will start with an exploration of the spiritual foundations of biodynamic beekeeping through anthroposophy, lectures on Bees, and Man As Symphony of the Creative Word and bring us up to the present day application of this wisdom with an in-depth sharing of the life-giving beekeeping methods that are taught and practiced in partnership with the bees at Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary in Floyd, Virginia.\nWe appreciate your support of the ongoing work of The Faust Branch in making these offerings available. Admission for lectures: Faust Branch members $5, non-members $10, Supporting Faust Branch members and Donors no fee. Special circumstances are considered. No one excluded for lack of funds.
