Join us on Friday 1st May at 5pm for a special “Live at the Hive” online member event, perfect for anyone curious about the basics of beekeeping.
This beginner-friendly session will take you inside a real hive as we open it up and explore its different parts, meet the bees, and learn about the challenges they face.
We’ll also cover topics such as swarming, simple ways you can support pollinators (including No Mow May), and finish with an opportunity to ask your questions.
Please note this is not aimed at experienced beekeepers, and as the hive will be opened, the session is weather dependent and may be cancelled the day before if conditions are unsuitable.
