BEE COURSES
We have two types of bee courses to offer. One is a full day at Bethells Beach where you learn how to keep bees. The second is an online course that equips you with all the gear, a hive of bees and one years free online support from BEES UP TOP. Both are inspiring and fascinating, the online course just kick starts your journey.

Here is how it works:
You register your details with BEESUPTOP. This tells us your address and we will give you access to the live stream.
Bees Up Top delivers you your new bees! They come complete with a Queen Bee!
Included in your delivery is everything you need to make your own beehive for your bees to live in. We will show you how to assemble everything during the course. All you need to bring is a hammer.
All your beekeeping gear is included too! You will be fully equipped and protected to go into your hive!
Make a day of it with your family or flatmates. We can deliver more protective gear for a small cost, just let us know asap.
This course gives you all the skills to keep your own bees which will pollinate your garden and make back yard honey!
After the course we will connect everyone in a private Facebook group and give you beekeeping support for 1 YEAR. This is the most valuable part because you can ask questions and we will prompt steps to take during the year. After one full year of beekeeping, you will be flying!
