***COVID-19 UPDATE***
Regardless of what is happening with us humans, the bees are getting on with their lives and for those of you who want to get started, it is never too late! Unfortunately I am not able to offer courses at my cottage for the rest of this year due to the ongoing restrictions, but do please contact me at waywardbeecourses@gmail.com if you would like any advice in the meantime.
I can offer one-to-one consultancy via Skype, Zoom or phone if you would like specific information. I have a Beekeeping in a Box option if you would like to learn about sustainable beekeeping in the comfort of your own home; you can read about it here.
I also have a vlog giving an overview of the comings and goings at Wayward Bee.
Spring, Summer, and Autumn workshops will now be run through my Patreon (see below). Please see below for 2021 dates.
My courses are suitable for people who would like to keep bees, or are already keeping them. I also run a mentoring service for people who would prefer to have help and advice at their home regarding their bees, and I have a Patreon account for those further afield who would like ongoing advice and tuition: www.patreon.com/waywardbee
All courses are held at my farm cottage in rural East Sussex – do get in touch for detailed directions.

Courses are very popular as presents: if you would like a bespoke course for an individual, a couple, or a group, please email me at the above address to discuss. I bake a cake of your choosing and we can run the course on a day and at a time to suit you. Below are a couple of flyers for the event for you to print off and give to the recipient, but let me know if you’d like a bespoke voucher.
