You do not need any previous experience—only curiosity, care and a willingness to listen to the bees.
Beekeeping is living, seasonal and always changing. Questions often arise when you begin observing or caring for a real colony.
As a student of Basic Beekeeping – The Lesser Mysteries, you will be invited to seasonal online Bee Circles with Angie. These gatherings offer space to bring your questions, share what is happening with your bees and learn from the experiences of others.
You do not need to have completed the course before attending. Wherever you are on your path, you are warmly welcome.
Recordings will be added to the course for those unable to join live.
Angie Twydall is a beekeeper, teacher, author and Sacred Bee Priestess with more than twenty years of experience walking alongside the honeybee.
Her approach brings together grounded, practical beekeeping with close observation, intuition and respect for the living intelligence of the colony.
This course offers a flavour of Angie’s distinctive way of working—not simply managing bees, but learning to listen, respond and build a relationship with the hive.
For Angie, good beekeeping begins with understanding what the bees need to thrive and allowing their natural rhythms to guide the way we care for them.
Begin whenever you are ready and move through the course in your own time.
You will receive immediate access to all seven modules, 23 lessons, downloadable resources and invitations to seasonal Live Bee Circles & Q&A.
The hive doors are open.
