Honeybee Wonder: Sweet Ecological Learnings

Learn about some of the beautifully deep mysteries of honeybees, and how you can welcome more wonderful bee-wild-erment into your own life and your own backyard. Honeybees fascinate so many people, and yet not everyone can or should keep bees, as it must be done in a responsible and ecological manner. But everyone can enjoy and wonder at amazing bees, and support healthy landscapes that are good for bees and for us, too! We will balance some wonderful bee science with practical elements to bring you closer to the world of bees, trees, flowers and ultimately the living world.

Brian Gleichauf and his family (human and bee) collaborate to operate Bub’s Honey in Racine, WI (https://www.facebook.com/BubsHoneyRacine), a honeybee-centered ecological education initiative. They sell local raw honey for the health of human neighbors, and use the proceeds in service of the health of bees and all wild and cultivated living beings. Brian likes to teach and learn and spread the joy of living in harmony with all of one’s neighbors, human and non-human. Brian holds a BA in Physics from Michigan State University, an M.A. in Theological Studies from McCormick Theological Seminary, and a Waldorf Teaching Certificate from the Center for Anthroposophy. He has been keeping bees for 15 years, in alleys, on rooftops, in backyards and now in four locations, including two nature centers, in Racine. In addition to beekeeping, Brian has passions for science, mathematics, agrarian living, ecological thought and practice, philosophy and theology, bicycling, composting, land and people restoration, and permaculture…to name a few! Brian regularly self-publishes about those passions, and other topics, on his Substack page, https://briang.substack.com/
