Beekeeping Workshops - Somerset

Join Paul & Jed at Worminster Farm near Wells in Somerset for a perfect introduction to beekeeping.

During the day you'll learn about what's involved in keeping your own bees with loads of fun bee facts and the chance to look into a hive and build your own honey frame. Lunch will be provided along with some delicious honeys for you to try.

You'll be given some handy reference material to take home with you too 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.

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.
