Further sessions may be arranged on Honey Extraction and Winter Planning.
This does not prohibit you from attending the next Beekeeping course in January 2010.
Please note that the courses offered by Reigate Beekeepers are subject to unprecedented demand. All the instructors are volunteers and we are trying to accommodate as many attendees as we can in a safe manner with an appropriate number per instructor.
Should numbers exceed the course limit, places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
