Basingstoke & District Beekeepers Association

Beekeepers have two main interests - bees and honey. The club provides information and support to members learning their craft and will lend equipment such as a motorised extractor and a Pratley tray at no additional cost.

Experienced beekeepers gain by keeping up to date with the latest information on bee disease management and on the development of different techniques to manage swarms, rear queens etc. We also enjoy socialising at our winter meetings and in the summer we meet at the association apiary
