practical Field days

If you want to come and try, and get hands-on experience in a hive, our field days are the way to go. All welcome!

Come and join us for an afternoon at the BSSA apiary in Clovelly Park, and be guided though the process of doing a hive inspection by BSSA society experts in a friendly relaxed environment.

We're happy to provide a beekeeping veil if you don't already have one. 

There will be no hive field days if the forecast temperature is below 17 degrees or over 30 degrees,  and not if raining, according to the prior day's news weather report at 7pm.
