During the day you'll learn about what's involved in keeping your own bees with loads of fun bee facts, the chance to look into a hive and to build your own honey frame. Lunch will be provided, along with some delicious honeys for you to try.
You'll be given handy reference materials to take home with you, which will give you some guidance on next steps if you decide to continue your beekeeping journey!
The course makes a perfect gift for the nature lover in your life. You or the recipient will receive a voucher plus you can add the excellent "Do Beekeeping" book and a "Save the Bees" enamel badge to your order with the option of a gift box.

Suits and all equipment are provided. We ask you not to wear open toed sandals or shoes and to bring a pair of socks.
The apiary is located in the walled garden of a park a 10 minute walk from Woodford station on the central line.
Beekeeping is weather dependent. If it's too cold or wet we won't be able to open the hives but don't worry there's plenty of other things we can do.

Please add attendee names and any dietary requirements in the order note box on the basket page.
Paul and Chris organised an excellent day as an introduction to bee-keeping. The mix of activities meant that the day was varied and very interesting. It was great to meet the bees, see the hives in action, to build a frame and then sample the different honeys. We really enjoyed the day and highly recommend the workshop and Black Bee Honey!

Fantastic day on the London Beekeeping Workshop
I bought the London Beekeeping Workshop as a gift for my husband’s birthday and I couldn’t have chosen a better experience! It was a truly enjoyable and interesting day out. There was a mix of activities, from the introduction to beekeeping and inspecting the hives, to building the honey frames that sit inside the hives. You can see how passionate Paul and Chris are and we came away having learnt so much about the Honey Bee, beekeeping and honey. Highly recommend! Thanks Paul and Chris!
