If you are contemplating buying equipment we suggest you try a taster session first at one of our apiaries, to see if you are comfortable handling bees, before making any outlay . We would suggest you come dressed in a long sleeved top, trousers [not shorts] and wellingtons. Young persons (under 18) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you are not certain of the Apiary locations, check with the appropriate Apiary manager.
