About Us / Spikenard Farms History:

Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary was founded in the certainty that there can be a better future for the honeybees. At this time, with Colony Collapse Disorder and a host of illnesses, mites and beetles undermining the bees' health and endangering their survival, we have to think of them as patients in the emergency room – and we must start by asking the right questions. Instead of focusing on how much honey we can get from the bees we must ask what can be done to protect, strengthen and heal them.\n\nIt is our commitment to teach and spread understanding of the true nature of the honeybee and her innate needs in order to heal the damages we have inflicted on her with modern beekeeping methods, agricultural practices and mobile devices that have been developed over the last century.\n
