Education

Club Meetings

These are suitable for prospective and existing members who are encouraged to come to club meetings, mainly at Bishop’s Cannings village hall, when we have speakers and opportunities to informally share good practice.

Apiary Sessions

At the club apiary visitors get a chance to meet the club’s bees and experience the joy of observing and handling honey bees on several Saturday mornings through the summer, whilst existing members gain additional practice and help newcomers.

See the KBKA programme for details(weather permitting). Anyone wishing to visit the apiary outside of these dates can contact the apiary manager – see contacts page. (Access is strictly at the apiary manager’s discretion)

Mentoring Programme

We provide a support programme for new and inexperienced bee keepers to encourage responsible bee keeping. This may include bee keepers in their first two years of bee keeping or those yet to acquire bees.
