John said: “This day makes a good grounding for the practical ‘preliminary sessions’ that we normally run at our teaching apiary near Wisborough Green.”

Beekeeping can vary a little depending on location because of such things as climate and available forage. This course is tailored for this area and will be presented live, so attendees can ask questions.
