Talking Bees

Club meetings include talks and beekeeping demonstrations. The club holds apiary sessions during the summer months at our association apiary at the Off-shoots Permaculture Project in Towneley Park, Burnley and our Out Apiary at Gawthorpe Hall. The Association also attends local events promoting beekeeping and educating the public.

Our branch members come from all walks of life and all generations, with new members welcome. “Introduction to beekeeping” courses are run for beginners.

Beekeeping is a fascinating and absorbing hobby. By joining our beekeeping association you will learn about our branch’s activities and we will also provide you with useful information about the art of beekeeping. In addition, being a member will give you the opportunity to meet other beekeepers and gain from their experience.

Beekeepers love talking about their hobby, so don’t be shy and please get in touch to see if beekeeping could be for you. For full details take a look at our membership page
