We will be holding a pop-up honey sale at the shelter in the Rock Field at Carlops. We will be selling jars of our first ever honey harvest from the apiary. The honey is a lovely multi-floral honey, blended beautifully by the bees. The bees have been foraging on ling and bell heather, willowherb and rubus (bramble), in addition to the gardens and hedgerows of Carlops. Honey will be £10 for a 340g (12oz) jar and all proceeds will go towards supporting the apiary and teaching new bee keepers. 

Alternatively, just come and chat to us about bees!​

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.

We will hold sessions through the summer for those curious about beekeeping. Come and learn about the lifecycle of the bees, see the queens, the workers and the drones and explore their hive. Suitable for adults and children. Contact our Secretary via the 'Contact Us' page if you would like to join us.
