Beekeeping courses
Our training courses are held on our farm and include evening and weekend sessions for both the beginner or experienced beekeeper, chicken keeping courses and handling demonstrations with health checks, and other general smallholding related courses. We will always encourage others to be as self sufficient and sustainable as possible, and this includes keeping livestock where possible. Our courses are here to help and through these sessions, in our shop or through our website and blog we are happy to talk to you and share our experiences and advice. Discussing Beekeeping today, what you need to know if you are just thinking about keeping bees; the apiary set up, equipment needed, hive management and honey. A more intensive course than our evening course to get you started, explaining more about the honey bee, helping you choose your hive and equipment, how and where to set up your apiary, the bees management and pests and diseases. Not forgetting when and how to extract that lovely honey.
