I am learning about
beekeeping from a
local Biodynamic beekeeper and we have had multiple discussions on Sun Hives. I was wondering if anyone here had any
experience with them. I plan on having multiple hives, at least one a Warre while the others Sun Hives. My intentions are to give the
bees a sanctuary and place to swarm naturally year after year, while collecting very little honey (in comparison to a typical amount harvested). Growing the grains, crafting the hives, and giving the bees a spherical home seems immensely rewarding to the soul and greater harmony. I have been deeply influenced by the book The Shamanic Way of the Bee and the referenced teachings of the Path of Pollen, and hope to carry on such sacred practices for the sake of the bees. Just wondering if there were any folks using such techniques here, specifically the Sun Hive.
