On Day 1, we will cover the basics of beekeeping, hive types (with a focus on Warre hives), and how to get honey and so much more out of your bees. Locally hand-made warre hives will be available for purchase.

This practical weekend workshop will be an intensive blend of class sessions where students will first learn the intrinsic nature of chickens and bees, and then how they can be applied within our properties. Practical hands-on activities will follow and apply class learning.
