The objective of the course is to provide a well rounded knowledge of keeping honeybees to get the beginner off to flying start. A beekeeper needs to be proactive since the bees have their own agenda and will carry on regardless. Understanding how and why bees work will lead to a greater enjoyment of your honeybees and to recognise when they need support.<\/h4>\n<h4>Below is an outline of the syllabus.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"dl\">History of Honeybees<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Anatomy of the Honeybee<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Life cycle of the honeybee<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Swarming &#8211; What it is and how to deal with it<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Pest &amp; diseases &#8211; Identification and remedial actions<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Hives &#8211; Types, pros and cons<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Colony assessment &amp; hygiene<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Health, safety &amp; PPE<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Record keeping<\/li>\n<li class=\"dl\">Apiaries &#8211; site selection, risk assessment<\/li>\n<li>Bee keeping annual diary<\/li>\n<li>Welfare manifesto<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<h4>The course also provides lists of reading material and providers of bee keeping sundries<\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"bon f24 ion\">See what students have said about the course.
