Since so many new beekeepers make expensive mistakes making hives from flatpacks we may run a practical session to instruct people on how to make up a hive. Possibly Sunday 3 May.
The dates for the practicals are notional since we are dependent on the weather behaving itself. The dates will hold unless we have hurricane and tornados....
All sessions will take place at the JG Graves Woodlands Discovery Centre in Ecclesall Woods off Abbey Lane.
The course fee is £85 and is open to Sheffield BKA members only. This means that applicants have to join SBKA if they are not already members. Minimum membership is Social membership at £19.
