Bookings and Cancellation Policy

We’re based in Scotland and there’s a reason why we’re surrounded by such beautiful green landscapes. Whilst we have measures in place to ensure you have a successful experience at the bee school, we are sometimes at the mercy of the great Scottish weather.

Naturally, opening a hive in adverse condition upsets and angers the bees, not only will this be harmful to the bees, but they’ll also most likely have a few choice buzzwords and may bee even a sting or two to whoever is nearby. It’s definitely an experience we’d rather we didn’t expose you to. We monitor the weather daily but can only make a judgement call up to 5 days in advance.

Two-day Weekend Bee School
Bee Schools will continue as scheduled, however there may be occasions where we may need to reschedule practical hive time to a date that suits the student.

Two Day Weekend Bee School
In the event of a cancellation, a refund of the following proportions will be awarded:

1 month prior: a full refund, minus £10 admin fees.
2 weeks prior: 50% refund, minus £10 admin fees.
1 week prior: no refund.

Up to 2 weeks prior to your course, a free transfer to an alternative date will be offered (subject to availability) – however any transfer will result in any further refund being forfeited. Courses can only be transferred once. To claim a refund please email thebeekeeper@thebeeschool.co.uk.
