Courses run by PDBKA...
Every year, we run two introductory courses - 'Beekeeping for Beginners' - designed to introduce the craft of beekeeping to people who wish to find out more about this fascinating hobby.
Many people who attend the courses decide that they want to begin beekeeping, but this is by no means compulsory!
Our courses are held on Saturdays during March/April and August/September each year at Sacrewell Farm and Country Centre, less than a mile from the A1/A47 junction close to Peterborough.
Each week, a different aspect of bees and beekeeping is explained and practical activities help to reinforce the topics discussed.
For further details, contact our Secretary, George Newton by telephone (01733-243349).
