Bee Keeping Training
I saw on Bbc breakfast this morning that the co-op is offering free 2 day training courses to encourage urban bee keeping. At the end of the course you'll receive a free hive and bees in your starter pack.
I've been surfing to try and find a bit more info, up to now this is all i can find but it's in Manchester and i'm in Merseyside.
It may be of interest to some Mancs or you may find a bit more in your area.

So unfair, it looks like its just for people living in Manchester. I would love to keep bee's but don't feel confident at doing so, and such would love to do this training.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

I'm sure if you contacted your local beekeepers association - http://www.britishbee.org.uk/local_associations_about_us.php - you would be made very welcome and be given all sorts of help, training and advice. OK so you might not end up with a free beehive but I'm sure making contact with local longstanding beekeepers is at least as useful as a one off training course. When we spoke to the group at a local fete last year they seemed very keen to welcome new people.Adventure before Dementia!0

WestonDave thanks for that, i've just checked it out and they have a training course in Liverpool on 20/3/10 and 27/3/10 at a cost of £55.
I'll go and try and find out a bit more, it says places are limited and must be pre-booked.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
