Reflections
Marion Deschenes, Canada
I am a traveller who came to Big Island in hope to meet the bees and to learn all about them. How grateful I am to have met Alison! I spent 3 weeks with her in beautiful Ka’u. Not only did I have the chance to learn how she respectfully takes care of “her babies”, but I also got to witness her spiritual ways of talking and interacting with them. Her philosophy and practices deeply resonated for me, as I knew deep down in my heart, that it is possible to care for bees without all the fuss of bee suits, expensive equipment and medications. I also got to participate in a highly complex bee rescue and relocation – a wonderful hive thriving in a small cave under a house, whose owners had tried to kill them by smothering them with a ton of poisonous ‘insect killer’ powder. Let’s say that I was shown just as much love and devotion when she crawled down there to take them out. That experience in mind forever, I go back to Quebec with love in my heart for the bees in my future apiary.
