SUMMARY:Raising Nucs: A Valuable Skill for All Beekeepers
DESCRIPTION:Most beekeepers lose some colonies every year and will need replacement colonies. Raising your own nucs allows the beekeeper to accomplish several things at the same time: swarming can be controlled\, varroa mites can be partially managed\, and great replacement colonies and queens can be produced with minimal investment. It also is a very enjoyable and rewarding pursuit.

SUMMARY:How Worker-Owned Coops Enhance the Solidarity Economy: Lessons Learned from Wellspring Cooperative
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn about the solidarity economy\, which seeks to build an economy that serves people and planet. It’s a framework\, a global movement\, and a broad set of practices that align with its values of solidarity\, democracy\, equity\, sustainability and pluralism (not a one size fits all model). \nA huge foundation of solidarity economy practices already exist all around us (e.g. worker/consumer/producer/housing cooperatives; credit unions; community loan funds; public banks; community land trusts; community supported agriculture; participatory budgeting; the commons; community gardens; skill shares; swap meets; edible urban landscaping; unpaid care work…) but are marginalized because they are isolated from each other. The solidarity economy seeks to pull these practices together in order to build a just and sustainable economy and world. \nThis interactive workshop will explore the solidarity economy and use Wellspring Cooperative as a case study in building towards system change. \nThe workshop will be led by Emily Kawano\, Co-Director of the  Wellspring Cooperative and Coordinator of the United States Solidarity Economy Network<  \n$15 for SBN Members and $25 for nonmembers. Interested in becoming a member\, learn more. Light refreshments will be provided. \nFor more information and to register for the event click here
