When’s the next course?Held on the first Sunday of every October, every year at: I really enjoyed attending Beez Thingz Bee Keeping Course in October 2011. Kerry and Julian are very supportive and knowledgable. Their love of their subject is infectious and will rub off on you. The course is friendly and relaxed and allows you to gain knowledge to suit your needs no matter what level you are at. They will fit in to your situation and allow you to become involved at a pace that suits you. You can hire hives to get a feel of what bee keeping involves. And once you have bees around you will find they are no trouble – bees know what to do! - and a pleasure to behold. |
