About Laura Bee Ferguson:
A beekeeper, educator and activist, Laura Bee brings a unique perspective to the study of the honeybee. As Founding Director of the College of the Melissae, Laura works collaboratively in the emerging/awakening of the Sacred Beekeeping: Six-Fold Path.
As a beekeeper of many years she became aware of the deep crisis affecting our pollinators including the honeybee and decided to do something about it. As Einstein said “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them” so Laura developed and founded the College of the Melissae; Center for Sacred Beekeeping in an effort to establish a center for study that may offer new solutions and inspiration in these dark-times. Gathering like-minded, spiritual educators, beekeepers and artists she opened the school in 2012 to begin researching and developing the 6-Fold Path.
The same year, Laura took a ceremonial vow to serve the pollinators for the rest of her life and has been working on many levels in service to the bee.
