| Natural Beekeeping Course - run in conjunction with Milkwood Permaculture | ||||
   |
  |
This 2 day course leads you through the basics of bee-friendly, natural, organic, small-scale beekeeping. You will leave this course with a competent knowledge of the fundamentals of natural beekeeping, and be ready to take the plunge and keep your own bees, Warré style! Over two very full days, I will focus on a style of apiculture that is exclusively designed for the small-scale beekeeper. This bee-friendly method aims to care for the bees, allow them to control their own environment, and is a gentler approach than conventional beekeeping, resulting in healthy contented bees, and superb raw honey. This is the only Natural Beekeeping course currently offered in Australia, and is proving to be incredibly popular. Please visit the Testimonials page to read some feedback by course attendees. At present, courses are being held in Sydney and Milkwood Farm, Mudgee. More venues will be announced in the coming years. Please visit Milkwood Permaculture for more information and online bookings. Please contact tim@malfroysgold.com.au if you would like to host a Natural Beekeeping course in your town. |
