We have dates for April
As the year moves on and the economy recovers and school holidays aapproach, we are glad to bring you the date for our next Easy buzzing Bee Course way in advance.

The next bee course will be held on the 16th April near Lanseria airport.

It's a full day of learning the art of keeping bees! It's a skill usually passed from father to son over the centuries. You can learn it to!

Come experience a day in learning beekeeping with at least 60 minutes of REAL Beekeeping when we open a hive for everyone to inspect.

Experts's advice
If you are looking to harvest the last bit of golden sweet nectar from your bees about now, then I suggest that you also feed your bees at the same time. 

I use an unique internal feeding system:

1) Take an airtight freezer bag
2) Make sugar water
3) 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water
4) Dissolve the sugar
5) Let it cool down
6) Pour the sugar water into the freezer bag
7) Voila! You're done...

Now, you go harvest your bee hives with sugar water bags in hand. After harvesting the honey you lay the jiffy bag down on top of the super frames and use a drawing pin to prick it 3 times at the corners!

What else can you do with beekeeping?
Join the pollinators association of South Africa!

If you have a decent size apiary of say at least 80 bee hives and are willing to travel and move your bees, you could be made for pollinating!

Pollinators are in high demand across the country as farmers and studies show marked crop yield increases when using increased honey bee population to improve pollination!

If you have the blue book the Pollinator's Association is listed at the back.
