Dunfermline and West Fife Beekeepers Association
We have a comprehensive programme of activities throughout the year.
The beginners’ course runs over 9 evening sessions in Jan, Feb,Mar & Apr and is held in Portmoak village hall (KY13 9HY)
The association evenings are generally held on the first Thursday of the month from October till April in Portmoak and then move to monthly gatherings at the association apiary in the summer months. All members, new and old, are welcome to the association evenings. The evenings are a sociable gathering, usually with a distinguished guest speaker attending. Evening talks start at 7:30pm and refreshments are provided.
