This Association allows you to meet local beekeepers & discuss all things to do with beekeeping & honey production. You can open a hive in the presence of experienced beekeepers & get advice on where to site an apiary. You are able to handle bees at the Association’s Apiary & acquire skills at little cost. You will be able to learn the basic rules of beekeeping & have your questions answered regarding the craft. You can accompany experienced beekeepers when they go to take swarms & when they extract honey.

The Association  :
