Introduction to Beekeeping Course

This practical, 1-day workshop provides an introduction to beekeeping.

Participants will gain a good understanding of how to keep bees enjoyably and successfully.   You will get up close and personal with the bees in our purpose-built, on-site apiary. Here you can use and compare a range of hives including wooden and poly nationals, horizontals, top-bars, warres and more.

We also explore a range of techniques that can be used depending upon your desired outcomes for keeping honeybees. This will help you to make an informed decision about the type of hive and style of beekeeping that would suit you best.

By the end of the day, you should be comfortable and confident enough to start keeping bees and setting up your own apiary. You should leave us buzzing with enthusiasm!
