Bring along a sample of honey, a frame, a block of wax, a bottle of mead, or any other bee related item that may be of interest for an evening of friendly informal discussion. One of our senior members will act as a guide and offer advice on how to improve your exhibits.

Please come along and tell us what you want from your club, in particular, we need to know what sort of activities you want us to arrange. There will be no pressure on anyone to take office and, as usual, we will be arranging our year's programme after the main meeting.

Our March Lecture, open to all, will be on one of the following topics: 1) How bees sense the world, 2) Local pollen and forage through the year, 3) Bees of the British Isles that aren't honey bees, or 4) Winning the battle against the Asian Hornet, 5) or any other good ideas we have at the AGM.

Weekly beekeeping experience for our members who want to learn more about beekeeping. Sessions are held with the oversight of our experienced members, and there is always lots of chat and time for tea, coffee, sandwiches and cakes afterwards. To increase our sustainability, please remember to bring your own mug and snack to share at our meetings.  We end all our meetings with refreshments and discussion.

We hold two Open Days on Saturdays in July and August.  This is where interested members of the public can experience looking into a hive and handle the bees.  Because we need to provide beesuits and gloves for any visitors, the invitation to come into the apiary needs to be arranged the week before. Suitable for adults and children. Dates for 2025 will be posted up here and in the local social media. Contact our Secretary via the 'Contact Us' page if you would like to join us.
