Healthy Bees
Protecting & improving the health of honeybees in England and Wales
March 2009
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.
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 in 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.

Over its 160 year history, Rothamsted Research has built an enviable international reputation as a centre of excellence for science in support of sustainable land management and its environmental impact. Its scientific research ranges from studies of genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and soil processes to investigations at the ecosystem and landscape scale.
