DESCRIPTION:You may know how important honey bees are for pollinating food crops and the environment\, but you may not know about the amazing life of bees in their hive. In this short course you will gain insight into the life of a honey bee colony\, and understand what beekeeping involves. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring this workshop you will learn in a hands-on way about the life of a honey bee colony\, exploring the ins and outs of a hive and running through the stages of hive activity through the year. \nA demonstration hive will allow you to also experience the textures and smells of the inside of a hive. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will talk through the equipment needed to keep bees\, and for those who are thinking about it\, talk through steps to keeping your own bees. \nAfter refreshments\, we will be pulling on protective bee gear\, and gaining some hands on experience with the Make Hamilton bee hives. You will have the opportunity to hold a frame of live bees\, and gain confidence in handling a colony. \nAll equipment/ protective bee suits will be provided\, but please come wearing long sleeved tops\, full length trousers and closed shoes (i.e. no sandals). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough the session\, we will talk about the products from the hive\, and you will have the chance to experience these including honey combs and extracted wax. \nEach person will leave with a jar of our Hamilton Honey. \nThe session is led by John\, who started keeping bees over 15 years ago\, and is responsible for looking after the hives at Make Hamilton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFAQs: \nAre there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? \nAny child under 16 must be accompanied by an adult and we operate a no under 10 policy. \nWhat are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nBy Train: \nWe are a stone’s throw away from Hamilton Square train station which is just a short walk down Cleveland street and accessible from all inner city Liverpool Stations and all Wirral line stations. \nBy Bus: \nThere are numerous bus stops nearby and around the Hamilton Square area\, all just short walks away from our space.
