Aycliffe Beekeepers’ Association is running a beekeeping course for beginners at Neville Parade Community Centre in Newton Aycliffe on the weekend of 22nd and 23rd April 2023 between 10am and 4pm.
It covers the history of beekeeping, how a hive is put together, the beekeeping year, how to spot and control pests and diseases, what to do when bees swarm, how to stop them swarming, and how to access further education and literature. The course is open to all ages and costs £60 per person which includes friend membership of our association. We will provide tea and coffee, but please bring your own lunch.
