Get to know us
Bees have four wings: two wings each side that hook together to form one larger pair when flying and unhook when not flying.
Honey bees communicate via a 'waggle dance' to tell the other bees the direction and location of the best food.
By joining the BBKA you are helping to support the charitable objects:'to advance the education of the public and beekeepers in the craft of beekeeping and promote the importance of bees in the environment'.
Your gift helps us deliver more impactful projects building a more positive landscape for our bees
