Some of what we do...
Education
To promote and improve bee health, we help beekeepers develop skills and knowledge to manage honey bees effectively.
Swarm Collection
If you think you may have a swarm of honeybees that you think might be a nuisance, our swarm coordinator will be able to help you.
Honey
There's nothing quite like the taste of fresh, natural honey. We help you find local honey from our beekeepers based in your area.
Upcoming Events
Beginners’ & Improvers’ Beekeeping Course 2026
This is a practical, confidence-building introduction to keeping healthy honey bees. You’ll explore how a colony works, seasonal hive management, bee health and pests (including varroa and yellow-legged hornet monitoring), alongside essential skills such as swarm prevention, honey processing and beeswax use.
The course includes hands-on sessions in our teaching apiary, an equipment and bee health workshop, and access to a members-only equipment shop. Bee suits are available to loan, and additional summer apiary sessions are arranged to support your learning as the season progresses.
