Natural beekeeping course

We are hosting a one day introduction to natural beekeeping on Saturday the 10th April 2010.  Here is some further information about the day:

Heidi Herrmann of the Natural Beekeeping Trust and John Haverson, who builds his own Warré  hives, have been invited to run a one day introduction course on which we will find out how bees live naturally and how the Warré hives work. We will visit the fields which enjoy wonderful views of the Dorset Hills, consider the forage afforded by the fields and consider how we might site the hive. If appropriate, we will position a bait-hive which will be left to attract a passing swarm.

The day includes a light organic lunch (including vegetarian option) and homemade cakes.   The cost is £50 per person.  Please contact us for further information
