There are powerful lessons to be learned from bees about how we humans can better understand our place in nature, engage the people and events surrounding us with greater focus and clarity, interact more effectively in our relationships and communities, and open ourselves to a deeper understanding of who we are as individuals, communities and a species. Mark will talk about his experiences from over 30 years of walking into apiaries, and the lessons learned from a life spent among the bees. His book Bee Time: Lessions from the Hive has received several awards:
2014 Science in Society General Book Award
2015 Governor-General’s Literary Award for Nonfiction
2015. CBC Best Book of the Year
2016. Six months on national bestseller lists, including four weeks as the number one bestselling non-fiction book in Canada
