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 afternoons 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)
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.
