There were 5 sessions on Day 10 of the Permaculture Design Course.
Session 1 and 2: - Animal Ecology with Jacqueline and Joseph Freeman. They talk about their extensive experience raising dairy cows, chickens, pigs and more.
Session 3: - Treatment Free Beekeeping with Jacqueline Freeman.
Jacqueline Freeman owns a biodynamic farm since 2003 where she raises treatment-free honeybees. The farm and their land embody a loving and respectful relationship with Nature. She and her husband hosted a hundred woof interns through 2012. In 2013 they became a mentor farm for the Biodynamics Apprenticeship program and trained a dozen more future farmers. A writer and artist, she has been published in a number of nature magazine. She was hired by the USDA to work with rural beekeepers in the Dominican Republic and regularly speaks at agricultural conferences.
She is author of a groundbreaking book on working respectfully with bees and nature. “SONG OF INCREASE: Listening to the wisdom of honeybees for kinder beekeeping and a better world” is available on her website, SpiritBee.com. In 2017, Jacqueline co-founded a nonprofit, PreservationBeekeeping.com.
