HSBKA - Practical Session

Sunday 29 March 2026 at 11:00 am

Prestwood Apiary

The next meeting at Prestwood Apiary will take place on Sunday the 29th at 11:00am (British Summer Time).

There will be another opportunity to practise building hive frames, so if possible, please bring a small hammer, pliers, or a workbench. We will also be running a smoker-lighting practical session, and some remedial work will be carried out on the hives in preparation for the new season.

Following the low turnout at the previous meeting, it’s worth emphasising that these practical sessions are open to all beekeepers. They provide a valuable alternative to relying solely on online resources, offering the chance to learn through hands-on, mentored experience.

Experienced beekeepers who are willing to share their knowledge and mentor newcomers would be especially welcome.

Anyone who would like to attend is very welcome.
