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 – early spring 2025 - now full

This introductory course is no longer taking bookings, as we are over subscribed. If you would like to be kept informed as to when the 2026 course is open for enrolments, please email the Secretary on ebka.secretary@gmail.com to register your interest.

It is possible to join Evesham Beekeeper's Association without bees, as an Associate member. You would be welcome to come along to practical sessions and workshops.  Please see the membership page for further details.
