Beekeping is an increasingly popular hobby but it is more than an occasional pastime. It requires commitment and a responsibility to the bees and the community. All beekeepers should be members of an association and register with Bee Base.

Beekeeping Course 

We run a Beekeeping course each year, sorry it is too late to join the current course. Information on the next course for 2014 will be posted here later in the year.

Details of fees and a membership form are available here. Please remember the membership year begins in  January.
