A gentle introduction to the art of bee-keeping and honey-making, from a long experienced and highly enthusiastic local expert.
Using real hives,
Terry will explain and demonstrate:
* the bees themselves - the natural workforce, * the equipment - putting together a hive and preparing the protective clothing and tools * the products - honey, wax, pollen, and propolis * caring for the brood - health, reproduction, swarming etc. This two-day course is not available elsewhere: Terry presents it as a 2hour evening course over eight weeks.

Terry Willis has kept bees for years and years, and is the Island's main ambassador of the art. He will talk endlessly about it all and regularly converts people into passionate members of the local association.
Most members of the first workshop we ran have gone on to become bee-keepers and some have won awards for the quality of their honey!
NB this course is in good time to buy equipment at the IW Bee Association's Annual Auction! |
