Silence of the Bees
July 8th, 2008
I was most distraught last month when I missed the re-play of PBS’s documentary entitled, “Silence of the Bees.” Thankfully they have made the full version available on their website! Silence of the Bees
The past couple weeks I have been further considering the idea of embarking upon a bee-friendly non-profit that will focus on local, sustainable beekeeping. I am investigating the benefits and drawbacks of such an endeavor and hope to come to a decision soon!
My family continues to be supportive of my bee fascination, and my aunt has been promoting Reed’s Bees to the point that I have more “clients” than I know what to do with! I am excited and confident that I can come up with a copacetic way to raise the necessary funds to start 20+ hives next spring. I’ve still got more than 8 months!
Lastly, in addition to reading “Bees in America,” I have been browsing some of the articles on www.biobee.com regarding biodynamic beekeeping, natural cell sizes and Abbé Warré’s treatise on beekeeping. They can be found here: http://www.biobees.com/forum/downloads.html
