Association 2022 Programme
We've got an exciting year of varied activities planned, whether you're a beekeeper or not.

Many of our activities are also open to non-members and/or to members of neighbouring associations. We have a number of spare bee suits available on request for people wishing to come along to one of our apiary open days or taster sessions.

We are always happy to take ideas and suggestions for future events.

Bee-Friendly Gardening

Honey bees are under increased threat from climate change, virus and parasites, pesticides and chemical use, and a loss of their natural habitat.

During the winter, although colonies become dormant, on bright days they will still come out in search of food. Having a range of flowering plants they can visit throughout the year for nectar and pollen  is key to ensuring a healthy colony with good stores so they can survive the winter.

You can help support bees by planting bee-friendly plants in your garden or window box.
