Local Associations
Local Associations (affiliated to BBKA)
Most of the activities beekeepers enjoy are run at local association level
these include; lectures, open-air summer apiary meetings, courses, parties,
quizzes, auctions, etc. Members of these associations pay subscriptions
which gives them a voice and a vote in their association affairs. From
the subscription, a capitation fee is paid annually to the BBKA and those
combined fees are the only reliable income received by the national body.
The BBKA holds a comprehensive list of member associations detailed by UK
County. Where possible we have listed email and telephone numbers for these
contacts, but please note that whilst every attempt is made to keep this
up to date the BBKA cannot guarantee its accuracy. Visit Local
Associations for contact information.
