Ever Wanted To Get Bees and Make Your Own Honey?

Dear Sheddie,

Have you ever thought about getting a beehive and enjoying fresh honey from your own hive?  Well now is the perfect time to jump in!  The Mens Shed has beehives available for members to purchase at a very reasonable price, and we are starting our Beginning Beekeeper Program for 2023 now!  We can set you up with a hive of your own, and train you how to run it.  We have a great group of beekeepers of all abilities at the Shed who will be with you all the way.

Join us at the Shed this Saturday morning (Jan 21st) at 9 am for a three hour INTRODUCTION TO BEES AND BEEKEEPING.  This is our first training session for the year and it is FREE.   We start from the basics and by the end of the morning you will know everything you need to get started.  This event is open to all Sheddies and you are welcome to join us, even if you are just curious and want to find out a bit more about bees in general.

After the session we will be bottling some of our freshly harvested Mens Shed honey, so please join in the fun if you would like to get your hands sticky.  Everyone who helps gets a free jar of honey!

If you would like to join us please book in using the link below.  This event is FREE, but we just need to know numbers to plan for morning tea.

Don’t miss this great chance to find out more about bees!  Look forward to seeing you there.

Cheers,

Curt McDonald

Beekeeping Head
