Description

An aspect of our Healthy Bee Plan includes seeking to pilot hive side training across England and Wales for the purpose of reducing problem pests and diseases affecting the UK bee population. The pilot will cover the 2025 beekeeping season (April - September). In this context, "hive side training" means the provision of face-to-face and practical training inside bee hives, as opposed to classroom based or online training.
