Introductory sessions

Introductory sessions are available for those considering beekeeping, but are yet to take the plunge and also for those wishing to learn more about the honey bee. A session lasts for 2 to 3 hours and will include the chance to handle bees and information on;

• the queen, worker and drone
• colony life and communication
  
• types of hive
  
• threats to bees
  
• beekeeping responsibilities, choices and typical costs
  

Sessions also provide an opportunity to ask your questions in a relaxed environment. Protective clothing and equipment will be provided, but please bring along your own pair of boots. The sessions last 2 to 3 hours and cost £25 per person (with a maximum of 6 people per session).
Please complete an enquiry form, without obligation, to register your interest and we will try to accommodate with times or location.
If you have you heart set on beekeeping, then perhaps our Beginner's Basics Day is for you.
