Fairs and shows
We attend a number of local shows every year, often with observation hive. We will post our days out on our facebook page. If you are interested in our bees visiting a group or show please contact us.
Observation Hive
We have an observation hive at Gibside Chapel during the summer months
Talks at your events
We have a number of experienced beekeepers who give talks to clubs, schools, and other events.
Starting beekeeping
Interested in becoming a beekeeper? Our main purpose is to assist new beekeepers. Have a look at our Getting Started page or better still come along to one of our meetings.
The most common starting advice is...
Join an Association
Take a local introductory course
Read at least one good book on beekeeping – The Haynes Beekeeping Manual is well worth a look.
