Beekeeping Introductory Course
The cost of the course is only £80, payable in advance. This includes 1 years' membership of the BBKA.
The course would broadly cover the following:
-
Introduction - The Bee Colony - Bee Lifecycle
-
Hive - Hive Types - Equipment
-
Beekeeping Year
-
Queens - Swarms
-
Bees - Plants - Harvest
-
Pests & Diseases
​
This will be followed by three practical training sessions
​
Each week, we will go through a hive so you can see how a hive operates. Initially it wouldn't be hands on but by week 3, each member should be able to hold a frame and inspect it.
