| Picton Farm, Norfolk - Bees and
beekeeping. We keep a large number of our own bees and run beekeeping courses
from our apiary near to North Walsham. We emphasise the need for practical experience
before starting with bees. Our courses are very hands-on and start from £7 for an
introductory session. We run three beginners courses each year, each consisting of a
minimum of 4, 3-4 hour, evening sessions beginning in May (it usually runs to 5). The
beginners course will cover basic inspections and manipulations, disease treatments and
feeding. It is aimed at giving people enough knowledge and practical skills to get their
own bees with the support of a local association. In 2013 the cost of this course will be
£80. SUITS AND GLOVES ARE PROVIDED.
We also cover catching and
clipping queens, honey harvesting and processing and hive making and wax processing and
products. These are available as individual sessions during the year and may be included
in the course if there is time or if we have a number of rainy sessions. We are bee
farmers and so once people have taken part in a course and joined the local association,
then we welcome them to join us for some more intensive sessions where they will be able
to consolidate their learning by putting it into action. This will involve swarm control,
feeding, disease treatments, honey harvesting or queen rearing, depending on the time of
the season. Sometimes it may include preparing nucs for sale and sealing hives up for
moving.
We will have bees available
for sale each year and will begin taking orders from July.
