           Informative and useful

- Rob, 29 August 2011

The course told us what we wanted to know and gave us the opportunity to experience bees at close quarters. A bit too close for Paul as he got stung a few times. The course was very informal and space for participants in the classroom somewhat limited. However, Paul was interesting knowlegable and humorous. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thanks


           Good for beginners

- David, 05 July 2011

Might need to advise future interested parties that the course is very much an overview of beekeeping in general with the opportunity to actually handle bees live. The handling was very much the key point for us.


           A great day

- Bill, 01 May 2011

For just a one day course this was a great day. Paul is a totally natural speaker, friendly & very informative. Bee hive is ordered.


           Very Informative, Relaxed and Enjoyable

- Tyler, 26 August 2009

Dear Paul/Diana I just wanted to write and thank you for the very relaxing, informative and highly interesting session you delivered on Saturday morning. Although I was not necessarily scared of going into the hives, I was a little apprehensive. The very calm and relaxed way you presented yourselves however, was very reassuring and gave me a lot of confidence. I even remember noting part way through the second inspection that I had almost forgot the presence of the several thousand bees flying about. Once again, thank you very much for the experience, you have given me the confidence to pursue this hobby further and may I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours. I am particularly interested in the work you are doing with Manchester council and hope this all goes very well. Kindest Regards Tyler
