Between us, we have extensive experience as beekeepers, and we’re looking forward to sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm with this year’s beginner beekeepers.What will I learn?We aim to give anyone curious about beekeeping a good grounding in the basics, equipping them with the skills and confidence to keep healthy, happy bees. It’s also a great refresher course for novice beekeepers, or those returning to beekeeping after a long break.Weeks 1, 2 and 3We cover a range of topics without overwhelming our beginner beekeepers. You'll delve deeper into the history, biology and ecology of honey bees and the importance of pollinators, and hear more about the practicalities of keeping your own bees.We'll take a tour of a hive (minus the bees – that's what the apiary visit is for!), demonstrate essential equipment, and guide you through the key events of the beekeeping year, including swarm season and the honey harvest.Pests and diseases are one of the less enjoyable parts of beekeeping, but it's vital to be able to identify and treat symptoms, and know how to prevent them in the first place. You'll also learn the whats, whys and whens of feeding bees.Week 4 (apiary visit)It's time to get hands-on hive experience! You’ll have the chance to don a bee suit, open up a hive, and handle frames of bees if you feel ready. We'll also teach you skills such as assembling a frame of foundation and lighting a smoker. Bee suits and equipment are provided – you will need to bring wellies/sturdy boots and a pair of clean washing-up gloves to this practical session.Please check our FAQ section for more information, and feel free to email us at education@inverness-shirebeekeepers.org or secretary@inverness-shirebeekeepers.org if your question isn't answered there.
