Beginners Course
A ten session introduction to beekeeping course is run every year, starting in mid November in the evenings. The venue is in Bishops Waltham.
The Course includes:
- An Introduction to beekeeping
- The honeybee life cycle
- Types of hive, and hive construction
- The beekeeping year
- Bee husbandry
- Disease and its control
- Making frames and hives
- Setting up an apiary
- Extracting and preparing honey
- Practical beekeeping and learning to “read” the colony
The course is followed by practical sessions at the monthly apiary meetings taking place throughout the summer. Participants are offered a nucleus colony at a reduced rate (applies to Meridian members only) and assisted to establish their own bee hive at their own site or at one of the Meridian Association apiaries.
