The Beeble Idler Beekeeping Day is a chance to meet, learn and share ideas with skilled beekeepers and prospective beekeepers in a bucolic corner of the Wiltshire countryside.

Suitable for both beginners and experienced beekeepers, the day covers a range of skills, from the best ways to start a hive, to how to make honey whisky.
