Beekeeping for beginners

Ever wondered what it’d be like to coax tiny creatures to produce delicious sweet nectar for you? Well, if you live in the Pretoria area, contact Honeybadger Beekeeping Equipment Specialists for information!

Not only does Honeybadger supply beekeeping equipment and honey, but they also offer an SAQA-accredited monthly introductory course to becoming a beekeeper at their Pretoria premises, with active-beehive demonstrations.

The course includes everything from an overview of South Africa’s bee industry, bee biology and everything you need to know about equipment from protective gear to hives and how to trap and settle swarms, to beekeeping management, honey harvesting and wax processing. The cost is only R400, and if you don’t have your own protective clothing, they will arrange it for you.
