The course is on the first Monday of each month for 7 Months and is backed up with fortnightly (weather dependent) hands-on field days at the club apiary in Spotswood.
There is no charge for the course with the expectation that if you continue then you will join the Club, $30 per subscription.
This course is aimed at the complete novice, others are welcome, and covers topics such as equipment selection and sourcing, finding stock, compliance, bee husbandry and hive management.
If you have any questions that cannot wait until Monday then feel free to call or text Chris on 027 444 8200.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
