Urban Beekeeping for Beginners Workshop

Are you a backyard beekeeper, an urban beehive enthusiast, or an amateur who wants to learn more about our precious pollinators? Join us for our Beekeeping Course for Beginners, hosted on the rooftop of Sydney Community College, in Sydney's Inner West.

We are proud to contribute to the biodiversity of our local neighbourhood by keeping buzzing beehives on our inner-city rooftop. You too can play your part in your local ecosystem by learning how to keep bees in your own backyard!

This unique learning experience offers a rare close-up look at the fascinating life of European honeybees as well as our very own native Australian bees. You will learn the art of responsible backyard and urban beekeeping, including how to make sure your bees are happy and healthy. 

This day-long workshop experience includes an opportunity to don protective gear (provided) and see inside the working hives on our rooftop. You will also take home a copy of fundamental beekeeping book 'BeeAgSkills', published by NSW Primary Industries. Most importantly, you will learn how rewarding it can be to keep bees in your own backyard.
