We run courses for beginner beekeepers. This year (2011) our Beginners' Practical Course for members started in March - with two classroom based theory lessons - followed by 5 monthly practical sessions, at our teaching apiary at The Marlborough School, Woodstock. The practical sessions are held on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm and usually last a couple of hours.

Please note that our Beginners' Practical Course for 2011 is now full. If you are interested in our 2012 course, please register your interest by emailing obkacourse2012@hotmail.co.uk

Established beekeepers are encouraged to take BBKA Qualifications. Please contact our Education Secretary - Peter Chaunt (chaunt@talktalk.net)
