Welcome to the Devon Beekeepers Association
Our aim is to promote and further the craft of beekeeping and to advance the education of the public in the importance of honeybees in the environment.
We plan to achieve this with our eleven Branch Associations by:
- Promoting and supporting good beekeeping practice.
- Educating with courses, lectures and study.
- Collaborating with organisations such as the Devon Conservation Forum, Devon Apicultural Research Group & the National Bee Unit.
- Ensuring that the latest information, underpinned by research, is available for all our members through the Devon 'Beekeeping' journal and our website.
As part of the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) our members enjoy a range of benefits including - BBKA News, Insurance and much more.
Many of us are now considering how we can live more sustainably. There is a growing interest in where our food comes from and the key part which bees play. The health of our bees has a direct impact on our own wellbeing so it is vital that we care for them properly.
Valentine's Day
February 14th
This is a special day in the beekeeping calendar - arguably the most important.
It is the only day in the year we are not allowed to talk about bees.
Instead, we are busy planning a wonderful surprise for our long-suffering companions.
