Beekeeping activities
I have been actively involved in beekeeping since 2014 through the Rucher Ecole de Fernelmont (CP-5380) teaching programme. The beekeeping section “Les Avettes du Mont-Des-Frênes (ASBL) » is a member of the Union Royale des Ruchers Wallons and aims to promote beekeeping as a passion and a hobby, as well as friendship and collaboration among its members. This beekeeping section now provides a very complete and hand-on teaching programme using Dadan 10 frames or Nicot hives, as well as WBC hive models. Since 2016, I am a staff member and advisor of the Rucher Ecole de Fernelmont.
