We are an informal and friendly group of beekeepers who have a common interest in keeping and learning about the Honeybee.
We have about 100 members and are members of the Welsh Beekeepers’ Association<\/a>.
We have our own apiary where we favour locally adapted dark bees (Apis Mellifera Mellifera) and run beginners and improver courses.
We have a Library<\/a> of books and dvds <\/a>which can be borrowed by members, along with member contributed presentations<\/a>, some useful forms<\/a> and our BeeHolder<\/a> magazine which is published three times a year.
If you would like to join or renew membership please review the information which can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
