If you have ever been curious about beekeeping, an introductory course in Frome town centre this February will equip you with the basics to get started.
The course, run by the Frome Beekeepers Association, consists of five evening sessions followed by practical visits to look inside hives.
Frome has a thriving community of beekeepers, using a variety of hives and techniques to look after their colonies of bees.
One of the members said, “We are a friendly bunch, very happy to share our knowledge and experience. There is nothing better than being at one with your bees on a warm spring afternoon, watching them come and go, busy in their work’.
“However, there is a lot to learn to keep you and your bees healthy and safe. This is why the Frome Beekeepers Association offers an Introduction to Beekeeping course: five weekly sessions starting on Friday 20th February, followed by the opportunity to look inside hives in the spring. All protective equipment is provided, and there is opportunity to visit the apiary at various times during the year, along with social events.”
