The fourth edition of Learning from the Bees, at Santa Rosa Junior College in the San Francisco Bay Area, promises to be a groundbreaking event dedicated to exploring the intricate world of honey bees, their health, and the interconnectivity of Nature. This conference is one of the leading events in innovative apiculture, bringing together a multidisciplinary approach that weaves science, art, and community for a transformative experience.

The conference follows in the footsteps of its international predecessors, further building upon and emphasizing 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: Connecting, 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.
