Beetopia New Zealand - "All things Bees" is located just outside of Matakana, at 158 Omaha Flats Road where onsite you will find:
Our beekeeping supplies showroom
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
The Beetopia Apiary and classroom training facility
Accommodation options - for overnight stays at our "Bee & Bee" for anyone who may be travelling from out of town.
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.

Conference website management
A professional and inspiring website gives your conference or event an advantage that helps you to reach attendance and engagement goals.
Using our own conference website design and content management software (Supermodel), we can build and populate a website that’s just for your event. If your conference or event doesn’t warrant a website of its own, web pages containing your event information and registration options can be hosted on our website.
The benefits of having a stand-alone event website:
-
A contemporary website design that makes your event or conference look good
-
A personalised URL to simplify promotion of your event.
-
SEO (search engine optimisation) to help attract Google searches.
-
Add and remove content easily, or ask us to look after content loading and updates.
-
If your event happens regularly, leave the website up to help with ongoing publicity.
-
Access to web analytics lets you see web traffic to your site.
-
Use LinkedIn and other relevant social media platforms to promote your event, linking back to a registration page or news article on your site.
