Interested in the fascinating hobby of beekeeping?

Early spring is when many of the branches affiliated to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) start to run beginner’s courses for new beekeepers looking to take their first steps.  If you are interested in taking up the fascinating hobby of beekeeping you will no doubt have lots of questions and we aim to provide some of the answers to help you find out exactly what might be involved.

Most branches also run ‘Taster Days’ which are ideal for gaining a basic understanding of what is involved in beekeeping.  These, together with 'Introduction to Beekeeping' courses, enable you to find out whether beekeeping is for you before making any further commitments.
