Course testimonials:

  • This was an memorable day. The teacher was generous with time and information. Thank you so much to the teacher.
  • I’m confident to start my own bee hives after this introduction bee keeping course.
  • Started the day with no knowledge or experience of Beekeeping. By the end of the course I felt far more at ease to start a hive in my backyard to help with pollination and to harvest our very own honey. Thanks to our tutor Ben for sharing his knowledge and the opportunity to get hands on with an open hive. Thoroughly recommend this course to anyone considering a start in beekeeping.
