Welcome to Kingston Beekeepers
Our main apiary is located in Thames Ditton, Surrey. During the main season (April to September) we meet every Saturday afternoon from about 2 pm to examine our hives and swap beekeeping ideas and thoughts with other members. Visitors are always welcome but please email first using the 'contact us' form. We do keep spare bee suits for anyone curious about the busy world of the honey bee.
Special events include the Surrey Bee Day, held in February, the BBKA Convention in Stoneleigh in April, the National Honey Show held in October in Weybridge, Surrey, and various lectures and educational events. We also have one or more extraction days, where we reap the rewards of all the bees' efforts (and a little bit of the beekeepers' efforts).
Members receive the following:
- Bee Craft magazine each month
- BBKA newsletters
- Product liability insurance
- Bee Disease Insurance
- National representation from the British Beekeepers Association
- Lots of training, help and advice from a friendly local club
Kingston Beekeepers are a division of the Surrey Beekeepers Association and are affiliated to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA).
Kingston Beekeepers Association honey from the 2011 season is still available to purchase over the winter months - use the 'contact us' form to make an enquiry.
