Spring Course 2016
Learn how to be a new bee keeper with Leeds Bee Keeping Association
For people interested in taking up Beekeeping as a hobby, Leeds Beekeepers Association are offering a number of courses for beginners during 2016/17
All of our courses cover both beekeeping theory (swarming, hive types, buying bees, apiary locations, getting started etc) and practical beekeeping where you will be tutored whilst inspecting live colonies of bees.
In addition to the formal courses we also meet at our apiary at Temple Newsam every Wednesday evening from April to September. Course members are actively encouraged to simply turn up and either just "talk bees” or get veiled up and tag along someone who is doing an inspection of the bees there.
All courses are led by experienced and qualified beekeepers and are designed so that at the end, participants will have sufficient knowledge and confidence to keep their own bees.
We also offer discounted childrens places but any children attending must be accompanied by a paying adult.
We provide bee suits and gloves as part of the tuition fee
