Tutors: Robin Harman, Mark Chambers

An introduction to the fascination of beekeeping, both in theory and practice!

Safety Precautions We will provide bee proof suits and protective gloves for all attendees.

The suits are mostly jackets so it is important to wear suitable trousers which are loose fitting. Skin tight leggings will not be sufficient to prevent a sting should that occur.

Boots or preferably wellingtons are a good idea as the bees might be attracted to the heat given off by the angle with a thin sock.

If you have been near to horses, then you much not wear these clothes to the meeting as the smell will initiate a warning pheromone within the hive. Similarly, the smell of banana and alcohol are defence triggers so no eating or drinking of either prior to the event.

Please bring a packed lunch.  Facilities for making hot drinks are also available.
