SUMMARY:Introduction to Beekeeping
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. \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. A demonstration hive will allow you to also experience the textures and smells of the inside of a hive. \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. \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. Each 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. \nThe session is very interactive and will respond to the questions and interests of participants. \nAll equipment/ potective 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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Teacher \nJohn started keeping bees over 15 years ago\, and is responsible for looking after the hives at Make Hamilton\, as well as other hives across the Liverpool City Region. John harvests our Hamilton Honey which you can find in the cafe at Make Hamilton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently asked questions\n\n\n\n\n\nDo I need any experience prior to the class?\n\n\n\n\nNo prior experience is necessary\, all health and safety will be taught by our experienced technician. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat should I wear?\n\n\n\n\nWear clothes that you are comfortable in. Full length trousers\, long sleeved tops and closed shoes (i.e. no sandals). \n\n\n\n\n\nHow accessible is the venue?\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is located on the ground floor which provides full accessibility to the premises including toilet provisions. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhere can I contact the organiser with any questions?\n\n\n\n\nFeel free to get in touch with the Make CIC office at 0151 601 8665 or email hello@makecic.org \n\n\n\n\n\nDo I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?\n\n\n\n\nNo\, a register will be taken at the workshop\, it isn’t necessary to print your ticket. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe name on the registration/ticket doesn’t match the attendee.

Please note: Refunds will be given minus Eventbrite fees\, unless Make CIC cancel the class\, in which case a full refund will be given. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhy is the Refund / Transfer Policy 7 days?\n\n\n\n\nThis is because we pay our practitioners\, staff and life models fair wages for their work.

SUMMARY:Intro to Beekeeping: Honey Harvesting
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will take you step by step through the honey extraction process on our working hives in the Make Hamilton community garden. \n\n\nAbout this event \n\n\n\nThe bees at Make Hamilton have been working hard over the summer months\, gathering nectar and pollen and building up stores of honey in their hives. The honey will be harvested at the end of summer\, and this workshop gives you the opportunity to experience the harvesting first-hand. \n \nThe workshop is split into two parts. First\, we will introduce you to how a hive works\, and how the bees store their honey. We will talk through the cycle of honey production\, and the life of a colony through a typical year. We’ll pull on beekeeping veils and head outside where you’ll have the chance to look inside a hive to see the bees working on their honeycomb. \nIn the second part of the workshop we will return indoors to experience the process of extracting honey by spinning honeycomb frames. You will handle honeycombs\, and experience the smells and stickiness that go with that! You’ll get to use the extractor\, and watch the honey being spun out of the frames then collected for bottling. \n \n \nThe session is very interactive\, and will respond to the questions and interests of participants. The session is led by John\, who has kept bees for many years\, and is the resident beekeeper at Make. \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 \nFAQs: \nDo I need any experience prior to the class? \nNo prior experience is necessary\, all health and safety will be taught by our experienced technician. \nAre there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? \nAny child under 18 must be accompanied by an adult\, this particular class is not suitable for individuals under 16. We run a no under 15 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.
