We will cover basic honeybee and beehive matters, whilst we won’t be opening bees at this session, after this event we would encourage you then to attend one of our more comprehensive days. Keeping honeybees in an urban environment will require careful and serious consideration so here at Local Honey Man we can offer you guidance throughout the year and expand your honeybee knowledge.
