This is the second of two classes I have had the privilege of taking with Ariella Daly. Both have been outstanding. If you are interested in beekeeping and want to do it in a kinder, gentler, more natural way; ‘Tending the Sacred Hive’ is the class for you. Ariella is amazing and her wealth of knowledge about bee-centric beekeeping and Bee Shamanism is outstanding.  I cannot recommend this program enough nor can I do it justice. My life has changed in very personal and inexplicable ways on so many levels. I am deeply grateful to Ariella for the wealth of information she has imparted to us and her graciousness in allowing us to have continual access to our course information so that I can take it all again and refer back to when I have a hive of my own!

This program has nourished my art in ways I couldn't imagine. It's a beekeeping apprenticeship and so much more! It has changed me as a person - I am more myself than I have ever been before, deeply nourished on soul level, connected with place and my place in the world. The way Ariella teaches has been healing and transformative in non-linear and very effective ways. It brought healing and change in the areas of my life where it was most needed.

To me Ariella brings tremendous beauty and wisdom to the art of beekeeping and so much more. This course is exquisite and is still being carefully curated and added upon. It is a living and breathing body of work that Ariella is still constantly working on. I feel that that is one of the greatest gifts because if you are like me you would want a teacher who constantly evolves her work. Ariella is such a teacher- kind, fierce, wise all rolled into one who teaches the beauty of Bee Wisdom.

The self-pacing was very useful. The soulful guidance of trusting the need to put things aside and to pick it up when I am ready. That was a wild teaching. I also feel the healing work in this apprenticeship really helped me heal very very deep wounds around my gender.

The virtual bee apprenticeship has also allowed me to create space to connect more deeply with nature in my region. My eyes have opened once again to the awe, magic and wonder of this magnificent earth. Ariella and the bees have brought much sweetness to my heart, like drops of honey from the comb. A remembrance of all I hold sacred in this golden web of life.

Ariella is welcoming, kind, engaging, sensitive, inspiring, and generous with her wisdom and knowledge about beekeeping, dreamwork, and history. I have learned so much from her beekeeping classes, from the foundational techniques and knowledge to the more detailed aspects of natural beekeeping, as well as dreamwork and seasonal practices to feel connected not only to myself, but to the earth in a deep and meaningful remembering. In every class, I have felt seen and heard, as Ariella holds space for each person, perspective, and experience within the whole.

My experience with the online beekeeping apprenticeship can be best described as a beautiful mixing of the magical and the mundane and how the perceived distance between the two is not vast, but interchangeable. The time I have spent participating in this experience has helped me deepen in my ability to not only trust what I am hearing, perceiving and dreaming with the bees but to bring these more etheric threads into the everyday, weaving a web of the quotidian mystery.

I highly recommend taking part in this group whether you are trying to decide if you would like to work with bees or if you have been keeping bees for years. There is so much to learn, and Ariella helps you facilitate the most beautiful relationship with the land and its creatures. She provides you with many wonderful readings and resources, but she encourages you to find your own connection and relationship to the land. I have the utmost respect for and appreciate this style of teaching, which helps you develop your own divining skills with your surroundings.
