The Flow Hiveâ„¢ has revolutionised backyard beekeeping and opened up beekeeping to enthusiasts around the world.
This 5.5-hour workshop is designed for total newbees (sorry!) to beekeeping who are thinking about getting a Flow Hiveâ„¢, or have one sitting in their garage unassembled and don't know where to start. We'll cover everything from what to order, how to assemble it, where to put it, and how to get your first bees.
It's the PERFECT time to start your beekeeping journey as there's lots of flowering and you've got time to get your head around these fascinating and important pollinators.
This is a very hands-on workshop where you'll taste honey from different floral sources, suit up and visit Hamish's bees, get to look at several built Flow Hives in Hamish's apiary, and open one up for a standard inspection.
You'll walk away with enough information to confidently start your beekeeping journey. Hamish also offers a hive building, management, and mentoring service so you will be able to keep developing your skills beyond this initial workshop.
We stock the Flow Hive in both a flat pack and pre-built version.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 6 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class; in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
What you'll get
The workshop includes a morning tea of freshly baked sourdough, leaf tea, and plunger coffee.
