Information - ActivGardens – Beginner Beekeeping
If you would like to find out more about beekeeping, why not come along to our open sessions? This will give you excellent knowledge of bees and hands-on experience of how to keep them. Once you have gained confidence, you can borrow a suit and have a go yourself.
To get a feel what it takes to handle bees, you can observe the hive being opened and checked from the safety of our hide. If you like what you see, you can borrow a suit and shadow our bee-keepers. If you would like to know more, sign up to become a regular member of our beekeeping team. This means you will be on the priority list for a share in the honey!
Our regular Monday morning bee keeping sessions take place between 11am-1pm.
