Enrenfried Pfeiffer an early Biodynamic Pioneer wrote, “How can it happen that the spiritual impulse, and especially the inner schooling for which you are constantly providing stimulus and guidance, bear so little fruit? Why do the people concerned give so little evidence of spiritual experience, in spite of their efforts? Why worst of all, is the will for action, for the carrying out of these spiritual impulses, so weak?” Rudolf Steiner replied, “This a problem of nutrition. Nutrition as it is today does not supply the strength necessary for manifesting the spirit in physical life. A bridge can no longer be built from thinking to will and action. Food plants no longer contain the forces people need for this.”

Bee Hive Inspection

Jack decided to go for a more thorough hive inspection because one hive looked like it might swarm due to overpopulation. Jack decided to use the strong hive (Juniper) to strengthen a weak hive (Marigold). All went well, I got stung once when I had my gloves off but it's nothing compared to being stung by a yellow jacket.

I recently found one article on a link between a pesticide used to protect the corn seed in Germany and bee die off at the hive. The pesticide was immediately banned by the German Govt. On the face of it, this does not appear to be the same phenomena as the bee hive collapse syndrome that is presently occurring the US, but this seems to be an important story. Please check it out:
