SUMMARY:What's Up with My Bees? With Bill Day
DESCRIPTION:Active beekeepers are invited to share questions\, answers\, and opinions about any aspect of apiary management — like successful overwintering\, managing Varroa\, feeding\, honey\, and beyond. Moderator Bill Day will guide the discussion\, welcoming both questions and answers from everyone in the room. Whether you’re a hobbyist\, sideliner\, or pro\, here is a great opportunity to meet fellow beekeepers\, pick their brains\, and share your favorite tips and tricks.  \nThis talk is part of the PASA Sustainable Agriculture Conference in Lancaster\, PA. More details can be found here.

SUMMARY:Beekeeping for the Future
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Day\nIf you are thinking about getting honeybees next spring\, now is the time to prepare. This one-day workshop will address questions all aspiring beekeepers need to ask as they prepare to embark on this spiritual yet profoundly nature-bound journey. For beekeepers with one or two years’ experience\, this workshop is a great opportunity to take stock\, ask questions\, and learn new perspectives. \nThe workshop will be organized around the beekeeper’s essential role in nurturing the hive organism. What can we as beekeepers do to create conditions in which our bees can thrive? What are the most up-to-date natural and holistic methods\, and how do they work? \nTopics covered will include: the biology of the hive organism and the beekeeper’s role in fostering healthy hives; working with different hive designs; sources of bees; siting your hives; biodynamic methods for managing varroa and other health issues; record keeping; beekeeping as a path to heightened powers of observation and awareness; and much more. \nThe day will include a visit to the Pfeiffer Center’s apiary. Weather permitting\, we will open a hive and demonstrate techniques discussed in the classroom. \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
DESCRIPTION:With Bill Day\nThe growing popularity of small-scale beekeeping is good news for the bees\, but it also raises its own set of challenges. Rarely does a small-scale beekeeper encounter Colony Collapse — but every beekeeper must contend with Varroa mites\, scant forage\, and scarce high-quality package bees and nucs. \nWhat can we do to help our bees thrive and flourish? Starting from an understanding of the honeybee colony as an organism unlike any other found in nature\, we will consider: Swarming as an expression of the bees’ vitality • healthy rhythms of life in the hive\, and how to support them • when to intervene and when to let your bees manage on their own • increasing your apiary naturally with splits and swarms while breeding better\, locally-adapted queens • alternative hive designs • managing Varroa • and more. \nWeather permitting\, we’ll visit the Pfeiffer Center’s apiary\, where techniques discussed in the classroom will be demonstrated. \nBeginning beekeepers are strongly encouraged to attend the optional Friday afternoon beginner’s workshop. \nBill Day first learned beekeeping from Gunther Hauk as an intern at the Pfeiffer Center in 2001-02. He is the Pfeiffer Center’s beekeeper and beekeeping instructor. He also keeps bees at Bluefield Farm in Blauvelt\, NY.
