An Introduction to Beekeeping A short course to familiarise you with the secret world of honeybees
This one day course is designed as an introduction to beekeeping. In the morning session we learn about:
History of Honeybees
Biology of the Honeybee
Life cycle of the honeybee
In the afternoon session we put on our beesuits and look into a hive of bees.
Practical session
We see, in action, what we learned in the morning.
Honeybees tend to be more active once the sunshine has warmed them up.
The course takes place at the newly opened Squirrel at Wellsbough, rural craft centre in north Warwickshire. Click HERE to check out their website.
Don't forget you can purchase a gift certificate whilst booking the course!
Dates for the course will be circulated by email once the weather shows signs of being warm and stable. I expect this to be after Easter.
