Ang (they/them/their) started as a backyard beekeeper; they had recently moved from Florida to Massachusetts (in the Jaimaca Plan neighborhood of Boston) when they started seeking out community members and educators to teach them how to keep bees, while they weathered their first long Massachusetts winters.
Ang speaks of their first experiences with bees – how they came to know that this was exactly what they wanted to do, how they have been immersed in the community and profession of beekeeping in the years since, and what their focus is in their work with bees currently. And they share some very interesting facts about how bees minimize toxins in their hive, queens, and how they copulate with drone bees.
Ang will be teaching a two-part in-person series on Saturday, July 31, 2021 and Saturday, August 7th, 2021 around how to build a relationship with bees and planning the care of a honeybee hive to provide confidence in what you will do and in working with bees. They are excited to model how to build a reciprocal relationship with bees so that the current hierarchy of thinking related to species is leveled out. Additionally, we will soon have a virtual bundle available that will build on what you will experience in-person, but can also be beneficial for those who have some experience with beekeeping under their belt already.
