This intensive course weekend, is based on the ‘Introduction to Beekeeping’ syllabus, from the British Beekeepers Association, but is designed with a specific focus on keeping bees within an urban city environment. It is designed to ensure attendees are equipped with the basic skills and knowledge that they will need to keep their own bees productively and safely.
In addition, those who may wish to eventually keep bees of their own will be allocated to an experienced mentor for a whole bee season. This is a unique and important service, which will help to prepare you to start keeping your own bees.
