BEGINNERS BEEKEEPING COURSE

Our ever-popular Theory Course for beginners is the only one we know in the North West that is classroom-based. Many courses elsewhere are conducted online, but we prefer to do it the old-fashioned way—in person.

The 2025 Course is now full. The next course starts at Woodbank Community Association, Offerton, in January 2026 on Monday evenings from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and continues for nine consecutive Mondays until March. The schedule covers all aspects of beekeeping, enabling someone to begin this exciting pastime. A practical course complements this course in May 2025. More details are on the Events page. 

​

The course is delivered by experienced beekeepers who are members of Stockport Beekeepers. What better way to spend winter evenings learning about honey bees and beekeeping?
