Beekeeping Courses

Courses in Practical Beekeeping 

All new beekeepers are advised to attend an introductory beekeeping course and experience a hive being inspected before they get their own bees.  Beekeeping is a rewarding hobby but also a challenging one.  The more knowledge and skills that you have the greater the chances your beekeeping will be successful and enjoyable.

Prospective beekeepers could get a head start with a bit of reading.  There are many good books such as The BBKA Guide to Beekeeping, Second Edition by Davis, I. & Cullum-Kenyon, R.

Evesham Beekeepers' Association Course – starting early spring 2024

The 2024 course is now fully booked.
