Beetopia New Zealand - "All things Bees" is located just outside of Matakana, at 158 Omaha Flats Road where onsite you will find:
​

Ability to purchase equipment including everything you need to get setup as a new beekeeper (bees, hiveware, suits, tools etc.) or to grow your existing apiary. Order placement to secure bees from our local bee breeder

​
Our next beginners courses will be held from September 2019 with a local beekeeper. The course provides the basics required for hive management at an introductory level and includes:
​
-
bee recognition (distinction between worker / nurse / drone / queen bees )
-
distinction between honey / nectar / capped honey
-
the all important "life cycle of the bee"
-
understanding how to use bee hive equipment
-
advice on how to register your beehives and mandatory requirements for beekeepers in New Zealand
-
Hands-on-lesson in hives
​
The courses run in small numbers with a total of 5 students per course. We believe this adds value giving attendees plenty of hands on time in the hives and the ability to ask one on one
questions with our instructor.
​
2019 beginner’s beekeeping course dates
As my courses are weather dependant and spring in Aotearoa is notoriously unpredictable, therefore bear in mind please if the weather is wet and/or too windy we cannot open the hives and therefore are obliged to postpone course dates.
​
Courses are held on Saturday mornings from 9 am - 12.30 noon in Matakana. Tea & Coffee & Honey drinks provided during morning break. Honey Tasting and Equipment overview at end of course.
​
Protective Beekeeping Clothing & Gloves provided
Cost per person $150 plus GST
​
Payment required before commencing the course.
Payment details provided upon confirming course date.
