Experience Days
A beekeeping experience day offers a rare opportunity to step inside the world of the hive—guided by seasoned practitioners and set against the backdrop of the Staffordshire countryside.
Participants suit up and join us in the apiary, where they’ll learn how to handle frames, identify colony behaviours, and understand the seasonal rhythms that shape bee life.
The day blends practical skill-building with ecological insight, covering topics like pollination, hive health, and the role of bees in wider landscape systems. Whether you're considering keeping bees yourself or simply curious about their world, this immersive experience is designed to inform, inspire, and connect.
Beginner's Courses
A beginner’s beekeeping course is a welcoming gateway into the fascinating world of honeybees, designed for those with little to no prior experience.
Over the course of six sessions, participants are introduced to the fundamentals of hive management, bee biology, and seasonal care, all through hands-on learning and guided observation.
The course also covers essential equipment, safety practices, and the ecological importance of pollinators—offering not just technical know-how, but a deeper appreciation for the rhythms of nature.
Whether you're dreaming of keeping your own bees or simply curious about their role in our food systems, this course lays a strong, supportive foundation.
Community
Beyond the apiary, our outreach work brings the magic of beekeeping directly into classrooms, community halls, and club gatherings.
School visits and assemblies are tailored to spark curiosity in young minds, blending storytelling with live demonstrations and interactive props.
For adult audiences, we offer engaging talks and hands-on sessions for gardening clubs, wellness collectives, and ecological groups, weaving together bee biology, pollination science, and the cultural history of honey.
Whether it’s a one-off assembly or a series of workshops, these events are designed to educate, inspire, and build deeper connections between people and pollinators.
