Keeping Bees

Before purchasing bees, we would encourage you to become a member of a local beekeeping Association who will guide and support you.

At Meon Valley we provide an annual theory course followed by a practical course in our training apiary. The theory course will introduce you to the skills and knowledge required to keep healthy bees. The practical course enables you to gain the confidence, skills and experience to safely handle bees. 

We make beekeeping accessible to everybody. Children should be accompanied by an adult who is willing to support them through their training and with keeping bees.

If you do not have space for a hive then we can put you in touch with people who have available land or you can get involved with our Association Training Apiary.

If you are interested in attending the Meon Valley theory course it starts in February each year with the practical course commencing in May. Please contact Jean Frost using the form below. For course details and costs refer to the FAQ’s under ‘Keeping Bees’

Please note: As part of the course you will become an associate member of the Meon Valley Beekeepers Association.
