Relocalizing VT: Save the Bees by Eating Them?

Past event
Mar 29, 2018, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - we focus on the difficulties of keeping bees in Vermont today, and how people are responding to them—including a new business partnering with chemical-free beekeepers to make a food out of drone larvae!

9:00 - 10:00 am
With climate change, agricultural chemicals, and parasitic mites, it's grown more and more difficult to raise bees in Vermont. We'll get perspectives from one beekeeper who says he doesn't know how to make a living raising bees without chemicals, another who has written Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approaches to Modern Apiculture, and two recent UVM graduates who are figuring out a new way to monetize chemical-free beekeeping, by making a food out of some of the drone larvae.
