2021 Beginners' Course from February 24 to September 25
Our theory course includes six two-hour long, weekly lectures aimed at people who are considering taking up the craft of beekeeping, or who have only fairly recently obtained their own bees.
The theory course covers: the honeybee life cycle, hive design, equipment, colony management, swarming and hive products and will provide a firm base from which to increase knowledge of the craft.
All classroom sessions will be delivered via Zoom. This is a video communications platform that has become popular since lock down. You will need a PC/laptop/tablet that has speakers, microphone and video camera (a camera is not essential but it would be good to get to know each other and be able to recognise each other). You will also need a reliable internet connection. Help will be available so that people feel confident using Zoom.
This is followed by practical sessions in the apiary. These will take place at Heatherton Park Apiary but arrangements could change depending on the coronavirus situation. Arrangements will be put in place to ensure we follow the current guidelines.
