Have you been dreaming about beekeeping, but need to have a better idea of where to start, what equipment you'll need and what the costs will be? No.9 Gardens' beekeeper, Erwin Kooi, will guide you through all the basics of what to expect when starting out beekeeping. You will leave with introductory knowledge of the inner workings of the hive, bees and all the equipment. We will also be taste-testing our honey! This is a great workshop if you would like to expand on your knowledge of bees and plant interactions, or if you would like tips before jumping into the beekeeping hobby for yourself!
A hat, Insect spray and sunscreen are recommended for comfort.
