Urban Bee Keeping Workshop
With expert Denis Stidder and Martin from Sussex Natural Beekeepers
Topics covered: Urban beekeeping using traditional and natural methods
- Cost £30
- 10am – 4.30pm

The first half of the day is guided by Dennis Stidder, who has been teaching bee keeping for over 30 years. He goes through many of the basics and explained about the more traditional Langstroth hives. He has many stories and experiences to share and half way through the day he will up and showed us an active Langstroth hive. In the afternoon we overview more natural beekeeping including the Warre hive and the Top-bar hive.
We finish by discussing the pros and cons of each technique and tying it all together to the broader political context of the UK beekeeping scene and the problems faced with the future of British bees.
An excellent introduction for any aspiring beekeeper. When starting to learn about beekeeping it can be very difficult to decide what kind of beekeeping you should practice. There is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet and in books.
