Beekeeping Taster Days at RHS Harlow Carr Gardens

Interested in learning about beekeeping? Want to help the environment? Need a hobby or just love honey? All great reasons to explore the wonder of beekeeping with like-minded people! An HRBKA Taster Day provides the perfect opportunity for you to discover what is involved. HRBKA and the RHS at Harlow Carr work together to provide these courses every summer. Topics include ‘starting up’, ‘where to keep bees’, ‘equipment’ and ‘potential costs’. You also have the chance to visit an apiary and enjoy an ‘up-close-and-personal’ encounter with real bees – weather permitting!

HRBKA Taster Days

Our Taster Days give you delightful insights into bees and beekeeping through talks, demonstrations and as much practical experience as time and weather allow. Adults and young people (age 16+) are welcome to attend these one-day courses. We hope the Taster Day experience inspires you to keep bees and, if it does, then we recommend you join your local Beekeeping Association (search the Internet for details). HRBKA also runs Beginner Beekeeping Courses every year, to equip you with the knowledge and practical experience you need to begin keeping bees safely and well.

Each Taster Day commences at 10.00am and concludes at 4.30 pm (approx.) Protective jackets and gloves are provided on loan and you will need to bring loose fitting trousers and Wellington boots or stout walking shoes/boots.
