Bee Keeping

The Men’s Shed “Bee Keeping Group” welcomes interested parties to come and learn about this fabulous hobby or to seek help or advice on things related to honey bees. We can do Beekeeping 101 basic courses for those who require foundation knowledge and our Apiary provides bee handling experience as skills progress.

Beekeeping is a very popular hobby in WA, particularly in Perth and the South-West. 

Our Apiary is fully licensed with all relevant Government Departments. It is fenced and gated to enclose our Bee Hives. Our group is fully equipped for the hobby and currently have six Hives in our Apiary.   

The Shed Management Committee has allocated a dedicated area to house our equipment and this will enable us to have a permanent setup in which we can maintain and store hive parts and also conduct our honey extraction and bottling.

All Shed members who have an interest in Bee Keeping are encouraged to participate and graduate to become a Bee Keeper of their own hives. Starting from basic Beekeeping  and  Bee  knowledge  to  practical  Hive skills, disease identification  and  re-queening  a  Hive, producing some beautiful Honey whilst having fun.
