Training Apiary

The apiary is our most significant educational resource. It is managed in a flexible and responsive way by our apiary manager (Lorraine Aitken). This involves respectful and mindful management with hands on involvement by members and 'Foster Parents'. The number of colonies in the apiary can vary from time to time but 'Foster Parents' take priority in hive allocation. 'Bee Minders' are able to assist with other hives if and when they become available. 

The Bee Academy Library

A library of books, DVDs, magazines and other publications of interest to beekeepers of all levels of experience. They are available to borrow and to use in the library as a reference source. The library collection is held in the Bee Academy which is accessible to all members.
