Interested in being a beekeeper?
We run an exciting introductory course each year for those in the Basingstoke and surrounding areas to learn how to get started as a beekeeper.

Beekeeping course aims

- The basic theoretical knowledge required for the meaningful examination and successful management of a colony of honeybees
- The practical skills necessary to handle bees with confidence

The beekeeping course taught by our Association is aimed at new and hobbyist beekeepers.
