Getting Started
There are lots of ways to get started in beekeeping, whether you want to get bees straight away, find out more or just be bee friendly.
We don't provide beekeeping courses at the moment but we usually know where and when external courses are running if you get in touch.
Browse our website to find out more about beekeeping and maybe answer some of your questions. Do feel free to contact our committee if you have specific questions that aren't answered here.
