If you have some experience: If you have a hive and bees or some previous beekeeping experience then we will pleased to see you during the active beekeeping season on Friday evening’s between 6.30 and 9.00 (March to September except Good Friday) when you will be able to further your experience and knowledge, working in small groups, taking care of the Association's bees.

Our next theory course will be for those interested in keeping and managing honey bees and will start in October 2010. The course will be held over 10 weeks and will cover the theory of beekeeping and related topics. Please note there is no practical beekeeping associated with this course. Dates and times will be advised, via this website, shortly. The practical course covering the basic skills required in maintaining a colony of honey bees will start in late March 2011 and will be held on Friday evenings from 6.30 to 9 pm and will run until September 2011. It is advisable to have attended a theory course before starting the practical. Our theory and practical courses are invariable oversubscribed and we regret that the number of places on each of these courses is limited. If you are intending to keep bees and would like to attend the theory course starting in October you will need to make an application for a place in advance.

Due to the high demand expected for the theory course, bookings will only be accepted via a link on this website.
*** The link will be available from 1st September. *** Applications for a place will be on a first come first served basis. We regret that bookings cannot be accepted before this date. We will let you know if you have a place as soon as possible after 1 September. Please also note that because of the limited number of people we can teach, at any one time on a practical course, a place on the theory course does not guarantee a place on the practical course in March.
