Hello, my name is Chris Wells and I am your tutor and guide on these beekeeping courses.


More than twenty years ago I began beekeeping as a hobby and now I am a small scale bee farmer in the North Cotswolds specialising in comb honey and beekeeping courses.

I hope you will join the hundreds of people that I have introduced to the wonderful world of beekeeping by enjoying these courses and maybe also joining us for a practical beekeeping experience at our teaching apiary.
