Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April - 'Listen to the Bees' is a beekeeping course on an alternative method of beekeeping using the Warré hive, guided by the biology and natural behaviour of the honeybee.This bee-centric approach is non-intrusive, low intensity and little work; it reduces stress on Bees and beekeepers to mutual benefit. Non-treated colonies can adapt to varroa, live in harmony with people and provide a modest honey harvest.
The venue will be at St Peter's Church Hall, Over Wallop, Stockbridge Hants SO20 8HT
