Then come and join one of my informal talks covering all the very basic aspects of bee-keeping. I will be sharing all the experiences and knowledge that I have mustered in my first season as a bee keeper and answering your questions, making it an ideal opportunity to find out if bee-keeping is for you. Learn about suitable sites, how much time you’ll need, costs incurred and lots of other all-important aspects of keeping your bees happy and healthy before you make any investment or commitment. I also aim to provide you with necessary details (such as bee keeping courses) and contacts to ensure the happiness and success of both the beekeeper and more importantly, the bees!
“I want to help people evaluate whether bee keeping is for them before they make any investment or pursue a beginners course. Bee keeping is not just about having a ‘box of bees’ at the bottom of the garden.
Taking care of bees will provide the most amazing feelings of satisfaction and pride but they can also deal some of the most confidence-squashing disappointments too; add a good scoop of frustration and a pinch of bewilderment and, as far as I can tell so far, you have ‘Bee Keeping.’
