I live in Westerham and am wondering if there is likely to be a course nearer to me than Tonbridge?
I am on the course - fantastic John - I was certain I wanted to keep bees before I came I am even more fired up now. 'though I think I need to plant a small hedghe to prevent the GD pups knocking over the hives first.
Wondered if you had another course planned in the near future?
Please let me know when you have the next course. I'm in Tonbridge and would be very interested.
We are away on holiday until 19th April. Just took delivery of our hive (no bees as yet). We want to attend a course and have local contacts. Could you please let us know if you have any courses planned late April or in May. Thanks Look forward to hearing from you Gerry & Carol
Hi, Yes we would be really interested in attending a course April/May time.
I heard recently that you might be holding another course at Hildenborough (I live in Sevenoaks). Can you let me know please if and when that will happen.
Are there any plans to hold another course?
Please could you also tell me when you have your next course. many thanks.
Please could you let me know if another course has been arranged?
We have a long established wild bee colony in a large tree stump. Wondered if this was of any interest. Walking distance Coldharbour Lane. David Hildenborough

I have obviously left it too late to apply for course in January 2011 but would be interested in joining courses later in the year. I would be grateful if you would let me know if/when they take place. Many thanks.
