Hi everyone.
Im a complete newbie and I want to start keeping bees. I can't find a local course. Is there really any need for these courses bearing in mind all the online resources?

i will always recommend doing a course however if you cant find one then team up with a local beek and work along side him/her for a year so you can lrean and watch the hive build up, try to swarm, produce honey and shrink for winter.
All the best and welcome to a great hobbie
hi psafloyd
Im a member of romford divison also, my teachers were the late fred, pat allen, jim mcneil and john. Where abouts are you?
Whereabouts in Essex are you, Rommy? Each local division of the EBKA (see http://www.ebka.org) runs courses. Mine last year through Romford had 28.
There is no excuse not to ge trained and there is no substitute for the practical experience of handling frames in a colony.
Sorry, I've just logged back. Im in Grays.
Trouble is that I just haven't got time for a lengthy course.
