We are delighted to welcome you to the Participant Area for Learning from the Bees. This space has been created exclusively for registered attendees as a place to connect, engage, and prepare for our gathering together in September in the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of the core intentions of this conference is to cultivate meaningful relationships—not only with the bees, but also with one another. Here you will find opportunities to begin those connections before the conference begins, participate in pre-conference activities, stay informed about important updates, and discover ways to enrich your overall experience. We invite you to explore, engage, and help shape the living community that is already beginning to emerge and that we intend to nurture afterwards
