'... I very much enjoyed our practical session with you in your apiary last Friday. Together with the previous session where you dealt with the theoretical side of bee keeping, the course has given us a great deal of crucial information and confidence as we start out as beekeepers. It was also a pleasure to see where you keep your bees and process honey and to have Christine give us some advice about plants which bees find attractive. We now have a much better idea of what we need to get in terms of kit and what we need to practice when we tend our bees. Thank you both very much for your support and hospitality. We will certainly recommend your course to any friends or family who want to start beekeeping......'

This was a brilliant day learning and interacting with the bees and Jonathan is extremely patient, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject. Nothing was too much trouble and we learnt a huge amount.

Jonathan’s three hour ‘Bee Acquaint Session’ introduction to Bee Keeping was first class , incorporating both an excellent presentation on the basics and also hands on inspection of his own apiary on site in his wonderful bee friendly garden. As a former Bee Inspector he has a wealth of knowledge and experience to impart and did so in a friendly way assisted by excellent coffee and biscuits supplied by his wife. Great value and very enjoyable. “

"I had an absolutely brilliant morning on the half day Bee Acquaint. Jonathan was generous with his knowledge and the chance to get up close and see the bees in action was a wonderful experience. Five stars!"

I was given the introductory course to bee keeping as a gift by friends who know how much I love bees. Jonathan provides a friendly well paced and pitched course. I found standing among the hives so immersed in the bee’s world a unique experience I will never forget.
