one-day course

hands-on the beehive


location: nr Colchester, Suffolk

Meet Simon in the The Crown pub at Wormingford (on the B1508 between Colchester and Bures) on Sunday before an amazing afternoon surrounded by thousands of bees.  You will take the roofs off several beehives (suitably kitted up of course) and learn to identify the queen, workers and drones; the different types of cells, and whether the hive is healthy or not. 

This course is designed for beginners, but is only worth doing if you have done the Beekeeping for Beginners course.
