Education and Training with R&DBKA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keeping bees is rewarding and there is always more to learn. Attending a beginners’ course is an excellent way to find out what is involved, how and where to set up your hive. All beekeepers are strongly advised to join their local beekeeping association, through which they can exchange tips and tricks with fellow beekeepers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership offers support and advice, training, membership of the county and national associations, and insurance. For more information about joining our association, please go to our “To join us<\/a>” page. If you are not in the Romsey area, you can find your local association at the BBKA website<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our beginners’ course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We run a 2-day beginners’ course with a flexible format that includes essential elements of beekeeping and a visit to the bees in small groups (always a highlight) so that everyone can handle bees. We can lend protective clothing if necessary.
Details are announced towards the beginning of autumn for the following year.

\n

Beyond beginner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

R&DBKA has its own Association Community Apiary which we use to give beekeepers at all levels the opportunity to learn and progress in small focus groups.
From time to time we organise a range of practical workshops for our members, such as raising new queens, processing wax or honey, or making traps for Asian hornets; or ‘Tap and chatter’ sessions where we can assemble equipment in a social environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BBKA modules and assessments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hampshire Beekeepers Association Library<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Members of all Hampshire local associations can borrow many of the books, including most of those on the reading lists for BBKA assessments and modules. CLICK HERE<\/a> to find out more.
