Arboreal Apiculture Salon #39

April 26 @ 9:00 am - 10:15 am PDT

It will be an honor to have Héctor Morales Urbina and Maggie Shanahan as our guests at the Salon. They both are beekeepers and bee researchers from Chiapas, Mexico and the United States, respectively. Maggie will share some broad context around beekeeping in Chiapas and compare and contrast beekeeping systems in the U.S. and Mexico. Héctor will talk about how beekeepers in Chiapas use traditional ecological knowledge to better care for their bees and will discuss the ways that the Chiapa culture shapes beekeepers’ relationships with their bees. Together, Maggie and Héctor will discuss beekeeper-led strategies to build resilience in the face of industrialization, broadening focus to consider not just beekeeping practices, but beekeeping systems.

Initially scheduled for February, our meeting with Maggie and Hector has been postponed to April, 2025.

The Arboreal Apiculture Salon offers a unique opportunity for the global arboreal apiculture community to connect and engage in symbiotic learning, share innovative ideas, and support one another. Join a multidisciplinary community from around the world for discussions and exchanges that foster a deeper connection to arboreal apiculture and apiology.

Co-hosted by Cheyanna Bone, Jonathan Powell (Natural Beekeeping Trust), and Michael Joshin Thiele (Apis Arborea).

The Salon is a free event, serving communities around the globe. If you would like more info or have a suggestion for a topic/ speaker, please send an email.
