An Introduction to Beekeeping

“The best introductory beekeeping course in East Anglia!” Begins 1st March 2027

The aim of the course is to allow those with no previous knowledge or experience to start keeping bees. This is a very short course so, if you take it and wish to keep bees successfully, you can’t afford to miss a single session. To underpin the instruction, within reasonable limits, we offer advice and assistance afterwards.

Ipswich and East Suffolk Bee Safari - open to Suffolk members, not just Ipswich

Submitted by sthurlow.66db on

Update - due to (s)low take up by Ipswich members, we are able to take members from the other associations (by confirmation) rather than run the day with too few people - book early to avoid disappointment!

Our Annual Bee Safari is a great day. We visit the apiaries of members of the association, in a different area each year. It is really interesting to see how others are set up and the locations they are using. We have our National Bee Unit inspectors with us and they will lead and inspect all the colonies and point out instances of pests and diseases as we go.

You will need to bring a packed lunch and water, but we will be meeting in a building where there are toilets and water

Bee Health Day

Submitted by sthurlow.66db on

Our Bee Health Day is an opportunity for new beekeepers to consolidate what they have learned in the classroom on the introductory course, and for beekeepers wanting to improve their reading of their bees or refresh their learning to do so on a practical day.
