Beekeeping Mentoring Programme
To learn about the basics of beekeeping, new beekeepers are advised to participate in our Beginners Course.
This could be compared with obtaining a Learners Permit for driving a vehicle on the road - you know in theory how it is done.
The reality test comes later on, with your own beehive in your backyard.
At the beginning it can be quite challenging for a new beekeeper to handle a beehive - not every possible situation can be discussed during the course - what to do?
To assist new beekeepers in this situation, more experienced and confident members of the club offer "Mentoring" to new beekeepers with hands-on assistance/training when necessary.
Likewise, a beekeeper who is not new to beekeeping could be facing a new challenge where assistance of a fellow beekeeper might be helpful.
The Beekeepers Club Mentoring Programme is aimed to assist all fellow club members when help or assistance is requested.
