Beekeeping

Practical Beekeeping – Weekend Training

Discover the art of practical beekeeping at the Findhorn apiary. This hands-on weekend is open to everyone from age 8 to 98, from total beginners to experienced beekeepers. Come and learn more about these communal animals that have coexisted with flowering plants for over 100 million years. You will be guided by Jonathan Caddy, John Willoner and Martin Harker, with many decades of experience with bees and teaching and a great passion to pass on their practical knowledge. Delve into the fascinating life cycle of these insects, the equipment needed to keep them and how we humans can help them with their essential pollination work as well as provide us with excess honey to delight our senses and palates.

All protective equipment will be provided and you're invited to make this a camping weekend using the FHT camping pads. Visitors with their own accommodation are also welcome. For those new to the Park Ecovillage in Findhorn, there will be short tours of the land and the community.
