Are you interested in keeping bees and producing your own honey, but don’t know where to start?
Join local beekeeper Brian O’Toole from Wildacres for our two-day weekend workshop, giving an introduction to the fascinating world of bees and beekeeping.
Learn all about the lifecycle of the honeybee, getting started and managing a hive of bees through the different seasons, extracting your own honey and the different types of honey you can produce. The workshop will also give an introduction to our fascinating wild bees and other wild pollinators and the plants that they rely on for nectar and pollen.
On one of the days as part of the workshop, you will get the opportunity to visit the Airfield Apiary and see inside one of our beehives.
This workshop will take place fully outdoors at Airfield Estate, and all government advice will be followed during the event.
Time: 10 am - 1.30 pm

We will always endeavour to deliver our classes in the medium in which they were booked. However, due to the fluid nature of CoVid-19 restrictions, some changes in delivery may be necessary (i.e. moving to an online course or smaller classes etc.). We will keep in touch with you when changes are necessary.
