Introduction to Beekeeping Course

Greenmyres Eco Bothy, Huntly

This is a beginners’ course for anyone wanting to start beekeeping or to learn more about honey bees. We’ll meet in the Greenmyres Eco Bothy for a presentation then, after lunch, you will meet the bees. We’ll lend you a bee suit and gloves, show you the fascinating world inside a hive of bees and how to handle them. During the day you will learn about the life history of the honeybee and find out what is needed to get you started as a beekeeper.

The course costs £40 and includes refreshments during the day, a light sandwich lunch and use of beesuits and gloves in the apiary.
