New edition: Bee Agskills - Beginning in bees
When we first published Bee Agskills in 2007, we didn’t realise how popular beekeeping was becoming. Since then we’ve published 9 other specialised books for beekeepers! Now that Bee Agskills is in its 20th year, our experienced bee education team have given it a full update, to ensure it’s fit for purpose for the next generation of beekeepers.
Funded beekeeper training
Tocal College has been funded by the NSW Varroa Mite Program to develop and deliver free targeted training to commercial beekeepers in NSW.
