Introduction to Beekeeping Course

This is a beginners’ course for anyone considering taking up beekeeping or simply wishing to learn more about honey bees. We’ll meet in the Huntly Development Trust’s Greenmyres Eco Bothy for a presentation then, after lunch, weather permitting, you will meet the bees. We will lend you a bee suit and gloves, show you the fascinating world inside a hive of bees and teach you the basics of handling them.
During the day you will learn about the life history of the honeybee and find out what is required to get you started as a beekeeper. 
 
We ask for a donation of £40 for the course and this includes refreshments during the day, a light sandwich lunch and the use of the protective clothing when we meet for the demonstrations in the apiary.
