20/11/23 Bee Keeping Courses
From Notts NARPO member Andy Bailey
I am a retired DCI from Nottingham, currently work with a collective of beekeepers to form a charity “ Hero’s Honey”. We are offering free beekeeping courses to any front line service personnel, retired officers or armed service personnel who have been forced to retire due to injury on duty or mental health issues.
The course will be a one day event for the officer/retired officer and any family members that care to attend and will take place in the Sheffield area. All equipment and clothing required for the day will be provided at no cost.
Beekeeping is known to be therapeutic as well as being a fascinating hobby. This one day course run by a retired member of the armed services who is now a commercial beekeeper, will hopefully offer an insight into keeping bees. The only cost to the attendee will be any travel and accommodation.
It is an aspiration of the charity to eventually provide each attendee the opportunity to have a free beehive and bees ( subject to suitable locations being available) together with a mentor to guide them through their initial beekeeping journey.
If any members are interested in this offer please contact me and I'll forward contact details of the course tutor.

Garden Flat to rent in Harrogate, North Yorks.
I have a Garden Flat, which sits underneath our property, in the centre of Harrogate. This will be let out by the night (minimum 2 nights) to discerning sensible folk and will not be on any website or public social media. It is a great alternative to a hotel bedroom.
We are a gentle 4/5 minute walk into the town centre, with wonderful Spa town amenities - Turkish Baths, Park, Trains to York and, of course, Bettys Tea Rooms. Also a great selection of Bars and Restaurants and using Harrogate as a base, many attractions such as Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks, Thirsk (the home of Herriot) and the beautiful town of Knaresborough and its riverside walks.
The Garden Flat has off-street parking for one vehicle and we can securely accommodate bicycles on site. It enjoys a private front and rear entrance and has the benefit of fast fibre BT broadband throughout. The whole property is currently being professionally redecorated.
The flat consists of one double bedroom, (5' bed) and fitted wardrobes. Full size fitted kitchen with an eating area with stools and high end appliances, plus the essential Champagne and Wine glasses. A utility room with full size washing machine, full size vented tumble dryer, iron and ironing board. Bathroom with shower (no bath) and the lounge has the usual furnishings, USB charging and a brand new smart tv with Freesat.
On arrival tea and coffee will be there to use and a pint of semi-skimmed in the fridge to get guests off to a good start Following a warm welcome we will be discreetly absent, but handy should a problem emerge. Inside the flat will be town centre street maps, a free parking disc for use elsewhere in town and brochures of nearby attractions.
If you have one, well-behaved, quiet dog - give me a ring.
The business end! The cost is £110 per night to others, but reduced to £90 per night for Derbyshire Narpo members. Any enquiries to me, Dick Rothwell, via dickrothwell@hotmail.co.uk. or 07894 577370
