In this workshop Robert from Bee Sustainable will give participants a basic understanding of bee behaviour, establishing and managing a hive, and the items that make up a bee hive and their construction.
There will be live bees and honeycomb to look at in a secure exhibition cabinet during the discussion of bee behaviour and hive management. The workshop will also cover the equipment a beekeeper needs to work with bees, key tasks in spring, honey extraction and swarm control.
