In the charity's own words
We hold formal monthly meetings October to March, some include presentations by experienced beekeepers. April to September we meet social twice a month. At our teaching apiary members can get hands on experience and non-beekeepers can observe inspections. Volunteer members provide a swarm collection service and we rent out honey extraction equipment to local beekeepers.
