Eileen Dickinson
Beekeeping

My Philosophy...
Beekeeping is best learned within a community of beekeepers, which for me is the community associated with Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary in Floyd, VA. I joyfully pass their wisdom on to those eager to serve the bee.
My Story...
Eileen is a life-long gardener and has kept bees since 2010 in a variety of hive types. She is a graduate of the 2 year program at Spikenard Farm Honeybee Sanctuary in Floyd VA and serves as a Mentor for them.
