Beekeeping is a practical and continuing learning process whether on a course, listening to our monthly speakers or talking to other beekeepers about their experiences there is always a new idea to look at and consider.
We offer a beginner’s training course for new and aspiring beekeepers and an improver's course for people who have been keeping bees for at least a year. This includes hands-on practice at our club apiary. All of this is supported by our Bee Buddy system. Come and learn with us!
