location: nr Bangor, GwyneddThe course is taught by Jonathan Garratt and is aimed at people who are interested in taking up beekeeping or wanting to learn more about bees. We will look at the basics of beekeeping, hive construction and siting, managing bees, where to get bees and equipment and the importance of bees in the environment. The afternoon session will be out in the apiary looking at beehives. Beekeepers' special protective clothing will be provided. The session will show ‘working’ beehives, how to inspect them and what to look out for. The group size will be kept small for maximum benefit to participants. Please bring suitable clothing for the afternoon’s session with the bees: boots (Wellingtons are best), long sleeved top, long trousers and washing up type gloves. On-site camping available; please let us know if you're interested in this option when you book, and we'll send you more details. dates: see 'book online' below
