Beekeeping Courses

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.

Introduction to our beekeeping course

This is an informal, non-examination course where no previous knowledge or experience is required and there is no obligation to join the Association.

Beekeeping course aims

To provide prospective beekeepers with:

• An understanding of the ecological and economic importance of the honeybee
• 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
