SUMMARY:Regenerative Apiculture & Wilding - 7 Month Course
DESCRIPTION:This 7 month course* outlines the foundational practices of Apis Arborea’s map for Regenerative Apiculture & Wilding. We are following an innovative and comprehensive model of apiculture that integrates ethics\, biodynamic values\, deep ecology\, and biomimicry. It promotes the natural life cycles and gestures of honeybees\, free of intensive management practices and promotes self-willed local populations in various ecological systems.   \nThe program provides insights into creating\, supporting\, integrating and maintaining regenerative networks of free-living honeybees within local watersheds\, communities\, and bio-regions.  Participants will gain knowledge of innovative practices and learn how to implement these techniques throughout the season.  The 7th session offers an opportunity\, for those interested\, to present their local projects within the group.  \nCourse dates & time: 6:00 – 7:30 pm PDT \n\nMarch 20\, 2024 –  Wilding Honeybees – Reframing stewardship and apiculture\nApril 17\, 2024 – Who is the Apian Being?  Exploring the multidimensionality of honeybees \nMay 15\, 2024 – Health & Apian Networks – Dynamic relationships in diverse landscapes – \nJune 12\, 2024 – Building TreeNests (natural honeybee nests) – Engaging with Ethics & Biomimicry\nJuly 10\, 2024 – Tracking Wild Honeybees- Beelining\, Monitoring\, and Integration of ‘Wilding’\nAugust 14\, 2024- Connecting with Other-Than-Human – Sentience\, Agency; Diversifying Relationships with Ritual & Ceremony\nSeptember 25\, 2024 – Project Presentation – Collaborations with Apian Wisdom\n\nAt Apis Arborea we promote holistic approaches to honeybee conservation and apiculture for the protection and regeneration of local honeybee populations.  We encourage a multi-disciplinary\, collaborative problem-solving approach. Through diverse studies\, cutting-edge sciences\, and an exploration of the sentience and birthrights of honeybees\, we identify and integrate ‘wilding’ principles to support the self-willed ecological processes of honeybees within living landscapes.  Our guiding light and compass point is the innate wisdom found within wild\, free living Honeybees.  We invite you to join us and become an integral member of this growing global community of regenerative apiculture. \nThis live stream event promises to cultivate an environment conducive to interactive learning and robust discourse\, fostering vibrant exchanges among participants irrespective of their level of beekeeping expertise. Join us in reimagining the future of beekeeping\, harmonizing with the wisdom of the natural world. The instructors for this event will be Cheyanna Bone and Michael Thiele from the Apis Arborea team. \n* the course can be taken as a series or as individual sessions. All sessions will be recorded and a link shared with participants. Scholarships available per request.

SUMMARY:Re-envisioning Beekeeping in a Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The accelerating loss of animal species and biodiversity reflects the urgency with which we need to move toward the preservation of honeybees. This 4-evening course is an introduction to a system-based approach to beekeeping. We will combine contemporary entomological research\, the study of natural wild honeybee nest environments\, and cutting-edge trends in life sciences to better understand the complexities of the life and needs of honeybees. We will study regenerative practices that create sustainable apian ecologies and explore ways that are conducive to their health and dignity.  For all levels of beekeeping\, beginners are welcome.

SUMMARY:Beelining – the craft and science of locating wild honeybees
DESCRIPTION:Beelining is the craft and science of locating wild honeybees. The pursuit is old as humankind and has gained new relevance in a time of the accelerating mortality of managed honeybees. Wild (unmanaged) honeybees on the other hand have evolved as self-sustaining populations and are an essential focus for conservation and research. This hands-on workshop will allow participants to learn and practice all essential tasks of beelining at a location in Sonoma County\, CA. We also will provide background info and resources for sourcing all necessary tools. This in-person workshop is limited to 14 people. Info & registration here.

SUMMARY:Building TreeNests for Honeybees
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person workshop in Sonoma County\, CA\, and learn how to build a natural nesting site (TreeNest) for Honeybees. We will use traditional and contemporary tools for the construction process and learn about principles for the design and set-up of TreeNests. The workshop will combine hands-on practical work on logs with an introduction to an arboreal apiculture paradigm.  \nThe departure from normalcy due to climate emergencies and accelerating extinction rates of all species opens the door to a re-evaluation and re-conceptualization of core belief systems and practices in beekeeping. As wild Apis Mellifera survives in non-managed ecosystems and nest sites\, they represent a resource for new strategies for contemporary apiculture and a fundamental shift in bee stewardship. Arboreal apiculture explores new ways of animal stewardship and conservation in a time that calls for out-of-the-box thinking. \nTickets are sliding scale. Your contribution will support the work of Apis Arborea. For an additional fee\, participants can take home one of the TreeNests we build together during the event. Please indicate your interest at registration. Info and tickets here.

SUMMARY:‘Wilding’: Creating Regenerative Apian Networks
DESCRIPTION:The departure from normalcy due to climate emergency and accelerating extinction rates of all species opens the door to a re-evaluation and re-conceptualization of core belief systems and practices in beekeeping and conservation. \nThis workshop will explore new vantages of the pioneering arboreal apicultural field and will outline a framework of innovative practices and strategies. It promotes the re-alignment of apiculture with the fundamentals of wild apian ecologies and ethics.  With a focus on self-willed ecological processes\, wilding becomes a driver of change for the science of ecology and conservation.   \nWe will introduce the innovative concept of LocApiary (local watershed apiaries) and show how it can serve as a powerful resource towards a life-sustaining shift within apiculture. The workshop will provide resources for a deeper understanding of honeybees as a naturalized species and as a co-constituent of the wider pollinator community\, and tools for designing apian networks with ecological and ethical integrity. It is a compass point for strategies beyond sustainability. \nThe ecological integrity of wild populations of honeybees (Apis Mellifera) is transforming the fundamentals of apiculture and initiating a radical shift in thinking for beekeepers\, conservationists\, and scientists alike. As an evolving new reality within the apicultural field\, wilding has become a driving force of an inquiry into and the creation of a new\, holistic paradigm of apiculture and conservation. For beekeepers\, conservationists\, and anyone interested in a shifting apicultural paradigm. \n“In Wildness is the preservation of the world.” H.D.

SUMMARY:Log Hives – A Tutorial for Design & Construction
DESCRIPTION:An online tutorial that teaches how to build log hives\, and that combines cutting-edge research with traditional apicultural practices. \nAbout this event\nDuring this live stream event\, Michael will go step by step through the process of making vertical and horizontal log hives and share lots of video footage\, necessary tools\, and other resources. This lifestream event will explore various arboreal hive/nest designs and integrate groundbreaking research data and fundamental changes in life sciences as resources for a paradigm shift for apiculture strategies in the Anthropocene.\nWe also will look at the reemergence of ancient and traditional ways of apiculture\, such as the “Zeidler-craft” of caring for bees in living trees. The rewilding of honeybees and nest restoration are becoming increasingly essential for honeybees to survive. As wild bees survive in non-managed ecosystems and nest sites\, they represent a resource for new strategies for contemporary apiculture and a fundamental shift in bee stewardship. \nThis live stream gathering will provide a meeting environment that allows for interactive learning and discussions among participants.  For all levels of beekeeping. \nYou can register here.
