Spikenard is opening its gates for visitors to come experience the wonder and beauty of the Honeybee Sanctuary. Tours are available, as well as an opportunity to purchase gifts and bee products at the farm store, and just come and relax on top of the mountain amidst the buzzing honeybees working in our flowering landscape.
We will be holding open days on the third Friday of every month through October.
We will have a variety of pollinator plants for sale next to the Visitor’s Yurt.
Tours generally last 45 minutes, with a $5.00 suggested donation.
Join us on Zoom on the third Wednesday of every month to get your beekeeping questions answered!
An opportunity for our students and friends to join us in the art of making festival, a wonderful learning experience with the chance to renew our inspirations and communal connection with the cycles of the year, including three days of special lectures, deepened beekeeping and observational experiences, artistic work, stirring the preparations, and a festival celebration.
Life Based in Love: 100 Year Anniversary Study of the Bee Lectures
Join us for a year-long celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the Bee Lectures.
For those interested in the most in-depth training that we offer at Spikenard Farm.
The Spikenard Biodynamic Beekeeping Training will be starting its ninth cohort in the Spring of 2023, pairing online content and support through the year with intimate, experiential, hands-on learning at the Honeybee Sanctuary. The objective of this course is for participants to come away with an understanding of both the spiritual and physical conditions that the bees need for their health and vitality, and to learn the beekeeping and land care methods that can serve these conditions. Personal relationship with the bees will be developed through lectures, meditative exercise, eurythmy, artistic work, group discussion, and Goethean studies, and participants will be supported in developing sanctuary in their own communities.
