IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEES 

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.
