Introduction to beekeeping – classroom-based course
This course is perfect taster if you’ve always fancied keeping bees or you are thinking of purchasing a new hive.
It’s a three hour session covering basic but fundamental bee and hive matters including:
- — specifics on urban beekeeping
- — preparations for the forthcoming season
- — bee stock
- — siting hives
- — equipment knowledge
After this event we would encourage you then to attend one of our more comprehensive events, as keeping bees in an urban environment requires careful and serious consideration. We offer comprehensive guidance throughout the year and can help you expand your bee knowledge. We also breed our own bees and can offer guidance in this area.
