Are you or someone you know one of the many people who have thought of investigating keeping bees, but don’t know what it involves? Wisborough Green Beekeepers Association (WGBKA) are holding an “Introduction to Beekeeping” day. The day is packed with all the information needed to become a beekeeper, including the time needed, basic equipment, costs and where to site beehives.
For those who wish to go further there will be later free follow-up sessions at the large and well equipped WGBKA teaching apiary, where you can handle bees under supervision. This provides the opportunity to learn and achieve a reasonable level of competence using someone else’s facilities before buying bees and equipment. The course is also suitable for those who may have just started beekeeping but have had little or no guidance.
WGBKA members live in West Sussex and South Surrey, within about 15 miles of Wisborough Green.
Further information for beekeepers and non-beekeepers can be found on the WGBKA website where you can find further details of the Introduction to Beekeeping Day.
