Your first experience with bees can be quite daunting. It can be a thrilling experience, one that you will always remember. 

Taking a beginners course is an ideal way to start and ideally before your bees arrive.  We will teach you to understand what's going on with your bees and give you your first experiences in controlled and calm environment. 

You will love it, we've had lots of positive feedback. The club runs several beginners courses each year. Details of the next event can be found here on the website (events tab).

We also recommend joining a club - there are many benefits including mentoring and advice. Frequently members are able to assist in obtaining bees and other equipment.
