Come together and immerse yourself in the amazing world of the honey bee and discover the art of practical beekeeping at the Findhorn apiary. This hands on workshop is open to everyone from 8 to 98, total beginners to experienced beekeepers who have an open and enquiring mind and want to know more about these communal animals that have coexisted with flowering plants for over 100 million years. You will be guided by three gentlemen, Jonathan Caddy, John Willoner and Martin Harker, with many decades of experience with bees and teaching and a great passion to pass on their practical knowledge. Delve into the fascinating life cycle of these insects, the equipment needed to keep them and how we humans can help them with their essential pollination work as well as provide us with excess honey to delight our senses and palates. 

Practical details:

• Wellington boots are good footwear for beekeeping so bring your own if you have them although we should be able to lend you a pair if you don’t.
• It is essential to let us know if you are allergic to bee stings or even think that you might be.
• All protective equipment will be provided.

Offered by donation! All donation go to the Findhorn Hinterland Trust and support the work the charity is doing. You can either donate when booking your place or after the workshop in cash.
