Beekeeping Workshop

Full morning learning with practical included. I was a Senior Aviation instructor at SAA technical after 22 years was retrenched. Teaching is my passion as well as being a beekeeper. PLAN BEE When learning about bees and there are 3 beekeepers, you will have 5 opinions! I will give you tips, tricks and the knowledge needed to understand these fascinating little insects if you are considering taking up beekeeping as a hobby or branching out into something new. There are hundreds of questions: Where to start, budget, time of year and so on.

Local Insights and Practical Training

The internet has a lot of information, yet the main source is USA based. Our African bee has great production levels and defensive traits that get them into trouble. There are only 2 main types of bees in South Africa…but more of that on the day. The course at hand covers: About the bee, Regulations and law, DALRRD (GP071), tooling, safety, Hives (why not a Flow hive for a first hive), honey, swarm catching, pests, handling bees and lots more, as well as a practical hands-on demonstration free suit rental. Costs are kept as low as possible and space is limited, all  ages are welcome. School talks can bee arranged. Feel free to add yourself to the next course group by clicking the link right here.
