🐝🐝 Introduction to Beekeeping Course with Moray Bee Keeping Association 🐝🐝

Greenmyres Eco Bothy, Huntly
Saturday 10th May 2025
09:30-16:30

This is a beginners’ course for anyone considering taking up beekeeping or simply wishing to learn more about honey bees.

Meeting at the Huntly Development Trust's Greenmyres Eco Bothy.

The day will start with a presentation then, after lunch, weather permitting, you will meet the bees. They will lend you a bee suit and gloves, show you the fascinating world inside a hive of bees and teach you the basics of handling them.

During the day you will learn about the life history of the honeybee and find out what is required to get you started as a beekeeper.

It costs £40 for the course and this includes refreshments during the day, a light sandwich lunch and the use of the protective clothing when you meet for the demonstrations in the apiary.

🚜🎄 Huntly Christmas Eve Tractor Run 🚜🎄

🎄🏍️ Kind gesture this festive season 🏍️🎄

I'll be heading around Huntly shortly handing out selection boxes to children I see. After Huntly I will this year expand and also ride around Turriff.

My children have all grown up, so it's great to see the joy in younger children's eyes again. If your child loves bikes, I'm happy to let them have a seat on the bike and maybe a rev.

Merry Christmas all!
