\r\nHeather Davis will speak at\r\n\r\nSouth Georgia Growing Local 2014<\/a>:\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nMy presentation will be about how I became interested in honeybees\r\nand where my research has led me. It will begin with very basic\r\ninformation about honeybees and how they are important to our\r\necology. Then I will touch on how the monocultures and\r\nindustrialized farming,\r\n\r\npesticides and GMO\/systemic pesticides are\r\nkilling the bees<\/a> and our culture and environment as we know it.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n<\/a>\r\nI will have pamphlets on GMO’s, how to make your own\r\npesticides\/insecticides that are safe for pollinators, what plants\r\nto grow to encourage a bio-diverse ecology at home for pollinators\r\nand a few others.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\nShe’s on facebook as\r\n\r\nSage Apiaries<\/a>, “Pollination is the future of our food!”\r\n

\r\nHer conference bio:\r\n

\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nI have worked for a local Vidalia Onion farmer the last 6 years as\r\nFinance and Office Manager of four multi-million dollar\r\ncorporations. I purchased forty hives last February and have\r\npartnered in October of this year to purchase over 400 hives. I quit\r\nmy full time job the first of December to work more with my hives. I\r\ncurrently work part-time as an Office Manager at a local pharmacy.\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nThe rest of the time, I spend either making beauty products from my\r\nhoney and wax, canning fresh veggies for farmers markets or working\r\nwith my honeybee hives. As a beekeeper, I work with several local\r\nfarms to provide pollination services and I am actively researching\r\nand pursuing the idea of forming a local Co-Op.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nCome to\r\n\r\nSOGALO2014<\/a> and hear Heather Davis\r\nspeak about\r\nhoneybees!\r\n
