Adopt a Beehive There is intense public interest and support for the honey bee, and an enduring fascination with the art of beekeeping and the hidden world within the hive, so BBKA has come up with an exciting new idea to raise much needed funds to cope with this interest - an 'Adopt a Beehive' scheme, with the help and sponsorship of Saga.
University Law Research to Help Honeybees The University of Greenwich has launched a new research programme to review the current legal framework relating to bee conservation and biosecurity across the UK.
