About the event

Five Week Practical Beekeeping Course | Cwrs Cadw Gwenyn Ymarferol Pum Wythnos
Discover more about the ancient craft of beekeeping in this practical five-week course.

The course begins on Thursday June 26th and runs 10:30 – 3:30pm every Thursday for five weeks (with a break on the 24th) until Thursday July 31st.

The course will cover all aspects of beekeeping and is very much hands-on. The basic theory involved in keeping bees is provided, along with other useful information you’ll need to start this fascinating and rewarding hobby.

On completion of the course, candidates will be able to physically inspect a colony of bees, identifying the various types of bee, understand what is being observed during the inspections and know what actions, if any, need to be taken to maintain a healthy colony.

Theory sessions will take place in one of the teaching rooms in the Garden and practical sessions will be at one of our two apiary sites within the Botanic Garden estate. Bee suits and gloves will be provided and it is recommended that sturdy outdoor boots/wellingtons are worn.

The course is run by Botanic Garden beekeeper Martin Davies, who has been keeping bees for more than 10 years and maintains the 20+ colonies here at the Garden as well as 20 of his own.

Martin has won beekeeping awards at both the Royal Welsh Show and the National Honey Show in recent years and is enthusiastic about passing on his knowledge to others.

The cost of the course is £225 per person (Members £202.50)

Booking is essential for this course.

Darganfyddwch fwy am y grefft hynafol o gadw gwenyn yn y cwrs pum wythnos ymarferol hwn.

Mae’r cwrs yn dechrau ddydd Iau Mehefin 24 ac yn rhedeg 10:30yb-3.30yp bob dydd Iau am bum wythnos, yn gorffen ar dydd Iau Gorffennaf 31.

Bydd y cwrs yn ymdrin â phob agwedd o gadw gwenyn ac mae’n ymarferol iawn. Darperir theori sylfaenol sy’n ymwneud â chadw gwenyn, ynghyd â gwybodaeth ddefnyddiol arall y bydd angen i chi ddechrau’r hobi hynod ddiddorol a gwerth chweil hwn.

Ar ôl cwblhau’r cwrs, bydd ymgeiswyr yn gallu archwilio nythfa o wenyn yn gorfforol, gan nodi’r gwahanol fathau o wenyn, deall beth sy’n cael ei weld yn ystod yr arolygiadau a gwybod pa gamau, os o gwbl, sydd angen eu cymryd i gynnal trefedigaeth iach.

Bydd sesiynau theori yn cael eu cynnal yn un o’r ystafelloedd addysgu yn yr Ardd a bydd sesiynau ymarferol yn un o’n dau safle gwenynfa yn ystâd yr Ardd Fotaneg. Bydd siwtiau gwenyn a menig yn cael eu darparu ac argymhellir bod esgidiau cadarn yn cael eu gwisgo.

Mae’r cwrs yn cael ei redeg gan y gwenynwr Gardd Fotaneg, Martin Davies, sydd wedi bod yn cadw gwenyn dros 10 mlynedd ac yn edrych ar ôl tua 20+ o dai gwenyn yma yn yr Ardd yn ogystal â 20 o dai gwenyn ei hun.

Mae Martin wedi ennill gwobrau cadw gwenyn yn y Sioe Frenhinol a’r Sioe Fêl Cenedlaethol yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf ac mae’n frwdfrydig dros drosglwyddo ei wybodaeth i eraill.

Cost y cwrs yw £225 y person.

Mae’n hanfodol archebu lle ar gyfer y cwrs hwn.
