Our Beginners' Course starts on February 27, 2019. It's a theory course comprising of six two-hour, weekly lectures aimed at people who are considering taking up the craft of beekeeping, or who have only fairly recently obtained their own bees. This is followed by a practical course.
The theory course covers: the honey bee 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.
