This year I am also running basic beekeeping courses in conjunction with Beamish Open Air Museum. Details of the course can be found at http://www.beamish.org.uk/short-courses/#bees

Taster Day 

We're also running another taster day on 26th May 2012. It's an ideal day for people interested in learning about bees and perhaps thinking about taking up beekeeping. The day includes an opportunity to go into the hives under supervision for those who wish to do so.
