Introduction to Beekeeping

The course is aimed at people who have been thinking about trying beekeeping, but are not sure what might be involved. We will cover the basics of bee biology & nutrition, the types of hives that are commonly used for recreational beekeeping, and what is involved in terms of inspections. The course will also provide an overview of honey harvesting and products from the hive.

This course is offered as a free event to promote safe, effective beekeeping and to allow people to make a informed choice as to whether beekeeping is really for them, and if so how they should get started. The course is free for members of Canberra Region Beekeepers.
