Keswick Beekeepers Association
Keswick Beekeepers is a small association made up of
members from Keswick and the surrounding area. We
have an Apiary on the outskirts of Keswick. It’s
prime objective is to function as a teaching Apiary
for anyone wishing to learn about Beekeeping and for
existing members to share ideas and information.
We
welcome anyone who would like to learn about
beekeeping, we also welcome visitors who may be just
curious as to what goes on inside a beehive.
Bee-suits and protective clothing are provided for
Apiary visits.
The
Apiary has six to eight hives during summer, regular
weekly inspections start in April and finish in
September and are normally held at 2pm every
Saturday. Any new member or visitor wishing to
attend please click on the ‘Contact us’ tab at the
top of the page,
Beekeeping can be enjoyed by all, regardless of age
or gender, it not only introduces you to the
fascinating life of Honey Bees, but it’s an insight
to the wonderful world of flora and fauna –
what’s out there and, more importantly, what’s not.
For many, a visit to an Apiary is just the
beginning…….
Keswick Beekeepers is a not for profit organisation,
funds from surplus honey are put back into the
association for the benefit of members both new and
old and for the welfare of bees.
