Short Course: “‘…Bloomin’ marvellous!’ Supporting bees through plants”

Short Course – “‘…Bloomin’ marvellous!’ Supporting bees through plants”

We all know that plants are important to our planet and provide habitats and food for wildlife, but why are plants important to bees?

Throughout this short course, we will discuss why plants are important to bees and what plants provide a food source to Honeybees in particular.

(Half day courses: 10.00 – 13.00 hrs / or 14.00 hrs to 17.00 hrs, including refreshments)

To be held at Bee Responsible…, Unit A, The Old School, Bridge Street, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Barnard Castle, County Durham, DL 12 0QB

Who’s it for?

An informative course for apiarists and horticulturists: this course focuses on the benefits of planting native, beneficial plants and how this supports local wildlife and especially bees.

Why does it matter?

‘…Two-thirds of the food we eat results from pollination of bees and other beneficial insects. It’s really important for people to get involved in gardening, to provide habitats to encourage beneficial insects…’  Andrew Colwell, Queanbeyan Hive

How long is the course?

It’s a half day course.

Where is the course held?
