Winter Beginner’s Course

Our 6 week winter beginners course started on Tuesday 6th February.

We have had a record number of places this year, with 20 ‘newbees’ taking part.

The course provides a basic understanding of bees and beekeeping, with a few practical sessions, such as making your frames.

The 6 week course covers the following –

  1. Honeybees and inside the hive
  2. Equipment and getting started
  3. History of beekeeping/Hives/frames/foundation/Beespace
  4. Honey and products of the hive

We hope their participation will continue in our club and go on to join the more hands on Summer Course.
