Join Our Beekeeping Adventure! 🍯

Ever wondered what it’s like to keep your own bees and harvest your own honey? 🐝✨
Starting April 2026, Westbury Arts Centre is hosting a Beginners & Improvers Beekeeping Course led by our experienced beekeepers.

📍 Location: Westbury Arts Centre, Foxcovert Rd, Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes MK5 6AA
📅 Starts: April 2026 | Duration: 23 weeks

You’ll learn everything from:
🍯 Apiary hygiene & hive tools
🐝 Handling bees & catching swarms
🌻 Making up hives & frames
🍯 Extracting and jarring your own honey
🌳 Setting up your very own apiary - and so much more!

The course begins with six friendly indoor evening sessions, followed by hands-on outdoor sessions where you’ll get to work directly with the bees (weather permitting).
