Basic course (Urban) Beekeeping & SMART Beehive management! (for English speakers)

Imkerschool ("The Beekeeping Academy") starts a special and very small-scale concept (max. 3 students per lesson!): a complete and practice-oriented Urban Beekeeping traineeship! That means: practical working and learning by doing, under the expert guidance of a professional and qualified teacher. In addition, get to know the latest technology, including the use of SMART beehives and sensor technology in the city, aimed at the health and well-being of city-bees!

ALL necessary materials, tools and protective clothing are made available by Imkerschool.

After a thorough preliminary process through practice-oriented master classes, you will work weekly under supervision. Follow the complete annual cycle together with the beekeeper in a small, enthusiastic team of fellow students. Immediately enter the practice, but then safely and under expert and personal guidance. During this course/internship, work weekly with your regular bee colony and, if desired, walk with the beekeeper at different inspiring locations in the Amsterdam metropolitan area. The course is led by a teacher recognized by the Education Committee of the NBV in Wageningen with more than 20 years of (international) experience in bee practice and in higher education.
