At Newbattle Abbey College we run a number of short courses, often in collaboration with other groups / organisations. Current short courses include:

Beekeeping for Beginners

Wednesdays from 11th April – 16th May 2012, 7–9pm

Learn about the honey bee, the hive, how to carry out a hive inspection, the tools you need to start up a hive, the problems you might encounter and of course, how to harvest your honey! Observe practical bee handling in our College apiary and help put together wax frames to prepare for next year’s harvest.
