Beekeeping

Last year there was something about beekeeping courses near Aberdeen.

Does anyone know more about this and is it an annual thing?

Appologies - I realise bees aren't technically animals.

The home composting/bee keeping day at Benholm Mill, might be useful to you Diana - http://neeps.myfreeforum.org/about2723.html

Yeah I was thinking about going to that anyway, but I think there's a fu course (or was last year)

Ina

Yes, I think it's just about to start again in Aberdeen - will try and find out more about it. It was very good; unfortunately the practical part coincided with lambing, so I missed all that.

Diana

Yes please Ina, if you could that would be great (or PM me the details and I'll see what I can find out)

Will need to go and try and find it ..

www.thorne.co.uk have details of many national bee keeping events. I have become an apprentice from my neighbour who keeps bees. Maybe you could find someone local to learn from?

Aberdeen and District bee keepers are starting the theory course on 20th Jan for 7 weeks. Details can be found on the Thornes website. The practical course is around April sometime.
