Back to School

Article from NSTA 11 Feb 2014

Today saw me rifling through the newspaper recycling pile looking for an article in the local paper that I had been told about.
The target of my search was details on a local beekeeping course which this person thought I would be interested in. I was.

It's only a 3x 2 hour course, but rather reasonably priced and, with the rugby season looming and a new crew of juniors to coach, my Saturdays are soon going to be filling up - so I jumped (or, more accurately, I clicked..) at the chance.

If this sounds like you, you can find the details here. I know the Auckland Beekeepers Club also runs a beginners course, and I expect that course may go into more detail as it is a 7 week, evening course. 
If March doesn't suit you, the course runs again in May - and from what I can see, this course has been run in previous years so the odds are good it will continue to be repeated in the future.

So all the pieces seem to be coming together, I've read a bunch of books, I've obsessed over where to site the hive (then asked an experienced beekeeper to come and tell me where the actual best location will be, I've got a hive and colony on order - and now, I'm signed up to an introductory course in beekeeping!

Good times.
