November Webinar The Arctic Beekeeper with Einar Johansen
November Webinar The Arctic Beekeeper with Einar Johansen
Join us for the first online webinar of our winter series, when we are delighted to welcome Einar Johansen, the Arctic Beekeeper.
Einar is a sideline beekeeper based in Lofoten, Northern Norway, at 68° North. He manages 30 colonies in one of the world’s northernmost apiaries, where his bees must survive over seven months of winter confinement. The region is free of Varroa and other bee diseases. Aside from very limited queen imports for new genetics, he is self-sufficient. His Arctic beekeeping is shaped by extreme weather and long winters, requiring careful adaptation and timing to succeed in a very narrow biological window. His honey is primarily derived from willow, dandelion, white clover, lilac, fireweed, and heather.
Our webinars are free to SBA members and £2 for Non-Members.
