King's Lynn and District Beekeepers’ Association is the oldest in Norfolk having reformed after the first World War in 1920 and has been in existence ever since. In 2007 the name changed to West Norfolk and King's Lynn Beekeepers' Association to reflect the wide area in which our members live.

We work to promote bees and beekeeping and to provide a range of member services to beekeepers in Norfolk.

We are part of the British Beekeeper' Association (BBKA) who amongst other things provide insurance cover and organise beekeeping qualifications and we have close ties with other beekeeping organisations in the region, particularly NBKA.

Currently having upward of 50 members and cover a broad spectrum of beekeepers from those with one hive in their garden to those with 30+ hives in several apiaries; from those who have just started beekeeping to those with over fifty years experience; from King's Lynn, Cromer, Holt, Norwich, Wymondham, East Dereham, Wisbech and Spalding areas, the common factor is an enjoyment of working with bees and of meeting with others of a like mind in friendly and informal ways.

We are particularly keen to help those new to beekeeping and you will find details of our Association Apiary on this website. We hold introductory courses each year and help our members achieve the (very easy) basic qualifications of the BBKA.

You will find us at Shows around Norfolk throughout the summer season, particularly the Sandringham Show which is where our members exhibit their honey and we hold our annual judging. You will find as at other events such as the Norfolk Smallholders at Sheringham and the East Anglian Game Fare at the Royal Norfolk Showground near Norwich.

If you have any questions about beekeeping then do get in contact and join this hugely interesting and enjoyable pastime.
