The Association now has two apiary sites, one of which is used as a training apiary, where we have our own colonies and carry out queen rearing. Help is always required maintaining the apiary, please contact the apiary manager via the secretary.

CDBKA is pleased to say that we have now planned the dates and
beekeeping course structure for 2012:
The course structure is slightly different for 2012 and will require you to

good practical as well as theoretical experience.

28 or 29 April apiary visit
5 or 6 May apiary visit
12 May morning or afternoon (this is a half day of theory)
19 or 20 May apiary visit

28 May evening meeting to evaluate the course and identify mentors to
support you with your beekeeping
The course will cost £50 each, which will be payable when booking the
course.
