The Home Page of the friendly beekeepers

Beekeeping is fun. Beekeepers, like bees, are sociable animals who enjoy each others company, comparing ideas and helping each other out.

We have an association apiary where you can come and find out about beekeeping with some experienced beekeepers.

If you are thinking of taking up beekeeping, read the 'beekeeping' pages and then contact Stuart Grant (Chair) on 01485 570 040 so that we can help you get started.

If you are an existing member then you will find features about the association and its members - you are welcome and encouraged to use the website to share your experiences of beekeeping.

Our events are open to everyone so do come along and see us in action.

The events page has a list of all the events for the year.

See you soon,

Stuart Grant (Chairman)
