Deep Listening at the Altar of the Hive
People often ask if they can visit our farm to watch me work with the bees. “And what would they see?,” I wonder. Most of the time they’d find me sitting alongside a hive doing little that actually looks like ‘work.’ Yet what I am present to is glorious.
Bees constantly express an ongoing and flowing Hive Unity that is filled with harmony, wisdom and self-perception. Through their magnificent expressions of sound, scent, sight and shared kindness, we will enter the holy consciousness of the Bee and delight in the heart-stirring nourishment that carries us toward wakefulness.
Jacqueline Freeman has been listening to bees for 14 years. She and her husband have a biodynamic farm in the Pacific Northwest. She is author of “Song of Increase: Listening to the Wisdom of Honeybees for Kinder Beekeeping and a Better World. The book is available in English, French, Dutch, Swedish, as an audiobook, and soon to be in Spanish.
