Training for new beekeepers

At BeeEducated we can train people of all ages to keep bees safely and enjoy a wonderful hobby that help boosts the number of pollinators and raise the standards of beekeeping. Maintaining and protecting healthy and productive bees requires a good standard of knowledge and skill. Beekeeping is made much easier by belonging to an organisation where knowledge and queries can be shared and discussed.

As a member of BeeEducated you will learn the knowledge and skills you need to be a responsible beekeeper. Growing your colony and harvesting honey at the end of the season as well as collecting swarms and building hives can all be part of the beekeeping experience.
