SUMMARY:Bee Observation Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Starting 3rd Feb we will be commencing a series of monthly workshops designed by our resident apiarist Christian Gruetzmacher who has 18 years experience in holistic bee keeping. He facilitates individuals and groups in developing their own genuine relationship to the insect world and honey bees. \nDuring these 6 initial sessions we will cover wholistic bee biology\, allowing us to understand honey bee colonies as a whole\, their connection with the rest of the environment as well as their yearly cycles and internal organisation. \nWe will look at 25\,000 years of documented apiculture and the spiritual\, cultural and practical traditions of how people around the world relate to the honey bee. \nComparing the various modern conventional and alternative hive designs in relation to our local environment and our individual aims participants will be enabled to make an informed choice about their own way of relating to and working with bees. \nThis course is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. It is open to anyone with an interest with bees whether you are looking for artistic inspiration\, environmental activism\, sustainable bee keeping or simply wanting to learn about bees. \nSuggested donation of £10-£15 per session but please attend for free if finances are a barrier. \nSessions will be held in the Oakbrook Barn Garden room close by our Bee Observatory where we can observe undisturbed honey bee colonies throughout the  season with out any need for protective clothing. \nThe dates are Saturdays 3rd Feb\, 2nd March\, 6th April\, 4th May\, 1st June and 6th July from 2-3pm. \nThose wishing to volunteer practically on our bee garden are welcome to join the earlier volunteering sessions from 11am-2pm on the same dates before joining the workshop.

SUMMARY:Oakbrook Orchard Work Party
DESCRIPTION:We will be pruning and weeding the trees\, continuing to work our way along the rows and giving them a bit of tlc before they burst in to leaf and start a new growing season.\n  \nGeneral info for work parties\nEveryone is welcome – no experience necessary. Please come and join for as long or as little as you like\, and take it at any pace that works for you. Kids are welcome\, but you must take full responsibility for any children you bring with you. \nDo wrap up warm\, bring snacks and drinks if you think you’ll need them\, and bear in mind that the orchard site is pretty exposed. I’ll do my best to provide some flapjacks to keep us fuelled up. \nWe generally have all the tools we need on site\, but if you would like to work with your favourite spade or secateurs\, please bring them along. \nIt’s helpful if you can text or email to let me know you’re coming so I have a rough idea of numbers. If you need directions\, have any questions\, or want to check we’re there on the day if the weather is dodgy\, please do get in touch. \nemail – oakbrookorchard@gmail.com \nphone – Jessie on 07779 232267
