Description

Take this course as one of your first courses in beekeeping and it will set you on the right path in beekeeping for years to come.  Beekeeping has very many benefits/potential benefits.  Established beekeepers may not even be aware of all the benefits they, their family and community are getting from their beekeeping hobby or enterprise.  This course will give you an excellent overview of the history and current state of bees and beekeeping around the world, the honey trade, why you should get into beekeeping, how you can benefit personally from beekeeping and how your local community and the planet will thank you as well.  The course will give you the WHY of beekeeping which is essential before you get lost in the detail of the HOW. 

Remember reasons always come first and once you understand why you should start beekeeping you will always figure out the how.  Having a thorough understanding of the  WHY of beekeeping is absolutely essential to your success as a beekeeper.  The course ends by giving you a key step on the road to learning the HOW of beekeeping appropriate to where you live in the world. 

The course will also help you to decide how you want to approach beekeeping in your particular context and how you might bring your own unique skills and interests to beekeeping to make it your very own.  This big picture view of beekeeping is really important because it is so easy to get lost in detail which might or might not be appropriate to where you live (just try searching for beekeeping videos on YouTube and you will find so many videos it is hard to know which ones are useful or appropriate!).

In developing this course I draw on a lifetime of beekeeping experience in Ireland and in Africa. 

In addition to other resources and links included with the course there are two free downloadable beekeeping books (PDF format) written by the course creator for your further reference.

The course has been revised and updated for 2021/2022.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone interested in beekeeping for beginners
  • Anyone interested in learning about bees and bee keeping
  • Anyone interested in having a better understanding of the beekeeping industry & honey trade
  • Anyone interested in understanding the benefits of bees and beekeeping
  • Anyone interested in starting a small scale beekeeping enterprise
  • Anyone wondering if beekeeping is a good hobby to start
  • Existing beekeepers who want to broaden their understanding of beekeeping

I grew up in the midlands of Ireland and while there I developed a passion for bees and beekeeping at a young age. That passion for bees led me to work on beekeeping development in Eastern Africa for over 20 years.  I currently keep bees and produce honey in both Ireland and Kenya.  

Another passion of mine is personal development and career success and I teach three related courses - one on reinventing yourself and making positive changes to your life and the other course on effective goal setting. 

My latest course is on the technologies and other forces which are rapidly changing our world and the skills we need to survive and thrive in our careers in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. 

I hold a Bachelors degree in Agricultural Science from University College Dublin, an MSc in Entrepreneurship (Stirling, University, UK), an MSc in Environmental Science (UCD) and a PhD in Rural Development (UCD). 

I am an avid life-long learner which I believe is essential in today's fast changing world.  I am currently developing my skills in Cyber Security!

I bring my varied background and experiences into all my courses on Udemy which I hope brings a fresh and enjoyable perspective to everything that I teach. 

Thank you,

Tom
