Beginners Lectures 2023
The beginners course will be in two parts. The first is the series of lectures that comprise an introduction to beekeeping. The information provided in the lectures will act as the background for next part of the training, the practical course which will revolve around the use of a logbook that indicates that the student has learned a number of individual practical skills.
An introductory meet-the-beekeepers meeting will be on 19th January, followed by an opportunity to learn how to assemble hive boxes and frames on Saturday 4th February and continuing on Saturdays after that. The course itself starts on 6th March and 7 subsequent Mondays. The course will be delivered by a team of experienced beekeepers. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion.
The fee is €85: the fee is waived for persons under 18 years old, but they must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
