A gentle introduction to the art of bee-keeping and honey-making, from a long experienced and highly enthusiastic local expert.
Using Vav Simon's own hives at the farm, Terry Willis (Chairman of the IoW Bee-Keepers Association) will show you:
the bees themselves - the natural workforce
the equipment - putting together a hive and preparing the protective clothing and tools
the products - honey, wax, pollen, and propolis
caring for the brood - health, reproduction, swarming, etc.
This two-day course is not available elsewhere: Terry presents it as a 2hour evening course over eight weeks.
Repeated for the sixth time due to continuing interest after previous workshops!
