There is no other creature on our farm that contributes as much as our bees do. From pollinating our plants, making honey and wax to being just a joy to behold, bees have been the single greatest investment we have made to the health and wellbeing of the farm.

Keeping bees isn't as simple as just putting them in their hive and letting them do their thing. Bees require help and maintenance to thrive.

In this online course, we cover the basics of keeping bees.

We will cover:

Personal protection equipment and other requirements for beekeeping
Basic Hive Inspection and FEDSS food, eggs, disease, space, swarming
Harvesting Honey - fitting clearing board
Feeding Bees
Where to place your hive
Swarm management

Due to the nature of beekeeping this is an ongoing course. We will be releasing the lessons seasonally, with the first batch of lessons going live on November 17th 2020. Updates will occur in March and June to talk about what to do with your hive this time of year.
