Frome Beekeepers' Association usually runs an annual course for complete beginners, interested in traditional Beekeeping with an intention of keeping their own bees. The course takes place in a venue in the centre of Frome but you will also get the opportunity to join in with practical sessions in members' apiaries later in the Spring.
Venue: Trinity Church Hall Frome BA11 3DE
Time: TBA (but probably 7.30pm)
Dates: 7th Feb, 21st Feb, 7th Mar, 21Mar, 4th Apr
No of Sessions: 5 (with practical apiary visits after)
Course Fee: The fee for the course is £60 per person which helps support Frome BKA. There will be a reduction of £10 if you already have the required reference book and a further £10 if you are already a member of FBKA.
Required Equipment: The required reference book, The Haynes Bee Manual, will be supplied by FBKA and students will be awarded Associate membership of FBKA as part of the course fee. This makes you eligible to attend future educational, practical and social meetings. Protective clothing and any necessary beekeeping equipment will be loaned by FBKA for practical sessions and you are advised not to spend money on protective clothing or any other beekeeping equipment until after the early practical sessions in the Spring.
There will be a comfort break during each session when coffee and tea and biscuits will be available.
