Bee Time: Lessons From the Hive
Bee Time: Lessons From the Hive
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. Dr. Mark Winston, an entomologist, will talk about his experiences over 30 years of walking into apiaries, and the lessons learned from a life spent among the bees.
Dr. Mark L. Winston is a Professor and Senior Fellow in Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue, a Professor of Biological Sciences, and was the SFU Library’s inaugural Nonfiction Writer in Residence (2020-2021). He is the recipient of the 2015 Governor General’s Literary Award for Nonfiction for his book Bee Time: Lessons From the Hive, and an Independent Publishers 2019 Gold Medal “IPPY” Award for his book Listening to the Bees. One of the world’s leading experts on bees and pollination, Dr. Winston is also an internationally recognized researcher, teacher and writer.
