Although we've not blogged for a while -
The Youlgrave Beekeepers are very still very active.
Members come and go and the core people remain.
A new beekeeping course has just been held in the village on Feb 27th under the umbrella of the DBKA.
Another is due to be held in the summer.
This is a complete beginner's course lasting one day.
It covers the essentials of beginning beekeeping, helping to decide if it is for you, what is involved, acquiring bees, equipment, the cycle of the bees, honey, costs, problems and support.
Joining the DBKA or BBKA is advised.
If you are interested and want to have some hands on practice to see if you like it all, then ring Jeni on 636550
or Judith on 630202
and come and join us when we inspect our hives during the Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Most of our members who originally trained with the group now are successful beekeepers around the area, with their own hives.
A few of the original group chose to look after the group hives only.
We mix and help each other as needed in these jobs and supporting each other.
If you joined our group, you would get the same support.
