The Bee Centre

The Bee Centre provide:

• Tea, coffee, water and even biscuits (unless Simon’s eaten them all) throughout the day.

They no longer provide lunch. It was becoming too tricky to properly cater for the increasingly diverse range of dietary preferences and allergies. The Bee Centre encourage participants to bring their own packed lunch. There are also local shops where food can be purchased.

The Bee Centre provide

• Beekeeping suits
• Gloves
• Other beekeeping equipment

You need to bring:

• Sensible, fully enclosed outdoor footwear Wellies are ideal.
• Long sleeved top

There are a couple of ways:

• You can buy a voucher via their shop (click the free goodie bag link to be directed to their page). This will give you priority access to new course dates before they become available to the general public.
• You can also book onto one of their published dates. The courses are hugely popular and attract new beekeepers from across the UK. It is advisable to book early.

Yes -selling honey, candles and other bee-themed items will be available for purchase. They stock a range of hives, clothing and beekeeping equipment and can order additional items as required.

The Bee Centre also breed and sell our own, locally adapted honeybees. These girls are a delight to work with, well mannered and sustainably suited to our climate and seasonality. Deposits can be made on the day or pre-orders collected, if necessary.
