The association:

their beekeeping knowledge
- Holds regular meetings where guest speakers talk on a wide range of bee related
subjects
- Runs training apiaries where members are welcome to learn all aspects of handling
bees
- Issues regular newsletters
- Hires extracting equipment to members for a small charge
- Lends from a comprehensive collection of books, videos & slides & can point you
to the ones that are most useful
- Shares information, events & meetings with neighbouring bee associations

If you are an aspiring beekeeper, NBBKA will loan you specialist equipment such

What is more, if you do decide to go ahead, many items can be obtained second hand
thus keeping the initial outlay to a modest size.
