Thinking about furthering your Beekeeping knowledge? There is no better way than to join the local beekeepers' group and take a course with your local group such as Dorchester and Weymouth Beekeepers Association.
Beginners' Course
In 2026 the course will start in April. It will run for six Tuesday evenings at the Colliton Club in Dorchester. Each week there will also be an apiary practical session at the weekend - weather permitting.
Bee Behaviour Course
We are running a six week course on Bee Behaviour. It will be held on Tuesday evenings at the Colliton Club in Dorchester starting on 7th October. The course will be run by Penny Gostelow and cost just £60. The course was based on the BBKA Module 6 exam so the course details can be found here. To see the other exams the BBKA offer have a look here. The course prepares you for the exam but there is no pressure to take the exam - just a hope that all on the course enjoyed learning more about these fascinating insects.
Pests and Diseases Course There will be a based on Module 3 in January 2026. Details will be confirmed nearer the time.
