Bernburg. Bees are essential to the ecosystem, and beekeeping is a fascinating hobby for many, offering not only a sweet reward but also an insight into a fascinating microcosm. You can learn to keep bees successfully by attending the beginners’ course at the district adult education centre.
The ‘Introduction to Beekeeping’ course offers new beekeepers the opportunity to acquire the necessary specialist knowledge and basic skills for keeping bees. It consists of a theoretical and a practical component and is divided into distinct modules. Organic beekeeper Guido Belkner provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the subject, combining theoretical principles with practical content, particularly in the second part.
Six courses take place at the KVHS in Bernburg, in front of Nienburger Tor 13a: fortnightly from 15 April, 5.30 to 8 pm.
The practical part with seven modules takes place at the "Belkner" organic apiary in Wettin-Löbejün, where training hives and the necessary technical equipment are available. It starts there on Saturday, 25 April at 10 am. Under the professional guidance of the beekeeper, participants will work directly on the hive and put the theoretical knowledge they have learnt into practice. These practical course days can be booked individually.
The course follows a fixed syllabus and is recognised as a new beekeeper course by the Saxony-Anhalt Beekeepers' Association. The certificate can be used to apply to the state association to become a hobby beekeeper.
