Come to one of our expertly run beekeeping courses held on a the rooftop of the beautiful East London Mosque in London E1. Ideally located in the city, close to two Underground stations and easy to travel to. This course will teach all the theory and practical required to manage your own colony of bees throughout the year on ground level or on a rooftop. We have been teaching beekeeping for a number of years and have to date taught over 200 students. The best information is from our past students so have a read of what they say here – Review by Past Students
The course will emphasis on practical skills, as beekeeping is a very hands on skill and the more time you spend in the hive the better.
After the course there is the option of buying your own locally reared honey bees if you have a suitable location and have decided to take up the craft. These are reared by us from our best stocks and will be similar to the bees we use as part of the training. Details of the bees can be found here – Buy bees

Aaida –
A fantastic, informative and hands on course. Really grateful to Salma and Khalil for sharing their expertise with us. The course was run over two weekends and I really felt that I grasped the basics, without being overwhelmed with too much information – it was the perfect balance of practical with the right amount of theory. Highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get started in beekeeping. I even left with a souvenir (beesting) on my finger 😁
Thank you, and look forward to more classes in the future, Aaida
