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.  The theory sessions of the course usually run from late February through March.

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
