SUMMARY:Swarm the State!  A Night of Music\, Anarchy\, and Bees with Sam Comfort
DESCRIPTION:After winning 6 hives in a poker game\, Sam Comfort worked for several years in commercial beekeeping across America.  He started Anarchy Apiaries in 2005 to explore permaculture ideas of low-input natural cycles.  He breeds queens from hardy survivors and experiments with splitting techniques and hive designs.  The mission is to have a good time\, all the time (with bees).  Anarchy Apiaries runs around 1000 hives that split seasonally into 2000 mating nucs with no treatments\, minimal feeding\, in stationary do-it-yourself hive boxes in New York\, the Carolinas\, and Florida.  Through teaching independent\, biological beekeeping\, Sam hopes to make it more affordable\, approachable\, and enjoyable\, and thus bring the means of production back to the beekeeper. \nWe’ll talk about Alternative Hives for Alternative Minds\, including the Comfort Hive and other oddities.  We’ll sing some silly bee songs and talk about beeing treatment-free through simple backyard splits and queenrearing.  And we will review the stinging past\, the sweet future\, the Good\, the Bad\, and the Bugly that is uniquely Anarchy Apiaries.
