Membership

One of the best ways to find out more about beekeeping is to join your local Beekeepers’ Association.

​

You’ll find people who are keen to help you get started. At first, it’s best to come along to our talks and demonstrations, to meet both other beginners and more experienced Beekeepers and to learn about bees and the equipment required.
