Our course is designed to guide and prepare you as a beginner Beekeeper.
The first day will deal with general principles, colony behaviour and discussing their activities. We will also discuss hive types, siting an apiary, and other considerations.
The second day will look more at what a colony and the beekeeper does through the course of a year and guidance on how you might like to acquire and look after your own hive.
We will also cover the theory on a hive inspection with reference to swarm management, along with bee health, and how to sustainably harvest products from your hive.
The 2 day course is £270 including lunch, drinks and snacks on both days.
We would then like to invite you back for a practical day of beekeeping once the weather is suitable for full hive inspections, this would be in May, just before swarm season, so you’ll be ready to start in good time.
1 day practical is £70 following on from the 2 day course.
If you’d like to book please let us know asap as places are limited to 6 per course.
