Meet the bee day is a one day introduction to beekeeping. The topics covered include;
The honey bee colony and yearly cycle, the beekeeper's year, equipment, where you can keep bees, practical bee handling, and individual questions and answers.
For the practical session in the apiary beekeeper's veils are provided, and there are a limited number of suits for the truly nervous. Casual comfort is the order of the day. Light colours are best, trousers or slacks tucked into socks, and a long-sleved top with a smooth surface. Bring some washing up gloves if you have them.
