    What Will I Learn?

    The management and manipulation of a colony of honey bees over the period of one year. How to use the equipment needed to undertake the work needed including the smoker, the hive tool and feeding equipment. Also, the maintenance and cleaning of the equipment and hive parts. Assembling the frames, fitting the foundation in the frames and spacing the frames in the brood chamber and supers of the hive. Harvesting and processing honey. The life cycle of the bee bee and swarm prevention and management.

    Pests and diseases of the honeybee together with their prevention and treatment. How to avoid and treat stings. Health and safety in the apiary.

    The topics will be covered in one to one discussions with your mentor and during monthly meetings, forum meetings and other training events.

     


    In addition it will prepare you to sit the Scottish Beekeepers Association  Basic Beekeeping examination - the first step on the SBA examinations system. The oral and practical examination normally takes place in June at the association Newbattle Teaching Apiary.
