The local Derry and District Beekeeping Association are launching their six week classroom based FIBKA accredited Introduction to Beekeeping programme, starting on Monday 20th March.
The programme will run for six consecutive Monday evenings, from 7.30pm – 9.30pm at An Culturlann, 37 Great James St, Derry. The course fee is £40.
Chairman, Barney O'Hagan commented “We have had a lot of interest from people who just wanted some information about beekeeping and what it involves before they make a greater commitment or become a Member of our Association.
"Our Introductory Course to Beekeeping will provide just that and it’s also an opportunity to meet other local beekeepers”
This is an informal programme of six seminars covering topics such as Natural History of the Honeybee, The Honeybee Colony, Products of the Hive, Bee Keeping Equipment, Honeybee Health.
On completion of the programme, participants have the opportunity to register their interest in the next level of study – or to join as a Member and get some hands-on experience in the local apiary at Brooke Park alongside our experienced beekeepers.
Anyone interested should register online from the DDBKA website www.derryanddistrictbeekeepers.com or email the Committee Secretary at info@derryanddistrictbeekeepers.com.
