The fourth edition of Learning from the Bees, taking place at Floyd EcoVillage and Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary, promises to be a groundbreaking event dedicated to exploring the intricate world of honey bees, their health, and the interconnectivity of Nature. A leading event in innovative apiculture, this conference weaves elements of science, art, and community for a transformative collective experience.

Following in the footsteps of its international predecessors, the 2026 iteration further builds upon and emphasizes community-building; deepening connections between humans, bees, and ecological networks; and interweaving the fields of science, conservation, apiculture, humanities, history, ancestral traditions and wisdom, culture, arts. It will center around three foundational themes: Bridging Community, Models of Change, and Action, with each theme serving as a lens through which attendees can explore vital relationships that exist within and between ourselves, bees, and entire ecosystems.
