Getting a bee in your bonnet

A five-week beginners course in bee-keeping starts next Tuesday at Wesley House, Leeson Park, Dublin

A five-week beginners course in bee-keeping starts next Tuesday at Wesley House, Leeson Park, Dublin. The course is being run by the Co Dublin Beekeepers' Association and it costs just £15. Kick-off time is 8 p.m.

The course is aimed at those with no previous knowledge of bee-keeping so it has a practical emphasis. It covers all the basics of bee-keeping and people should know enough to get going on their own at the end of it. The course will be taught by association chairman John Killian. Registration is before January 31st. For information, phone Anne O'Sullivan at (01) 288 8873.
