The North Shropshire Beekeepers’ Association (NSBKA) aims to encourage and develop the art and science of bee keeping through group meetings, practical apiary events and educational support programmes in which members can participate and contribute. The Association was founded on Friday 23 August 1945, and has members spread across the northern part of Shropshire, as well as a few from further afield (including Scotland). They have been a fully affiliated member of the British Beekeepers’ Association (BBKA) since their inception. Throughout the winter months (October to March), evening meetings are held where the very best speakers on bee keeping and associated activities are invited to share their specialist skills and knowledge at their monthly meetings, usually held in the convivial atmosphere of a convenient public house, hotel, or local village hall. The Association maintains an apiary at an organic farm in North Shropshire and during the spring and summer months they meet at this Association apiary, or a member’s apiary, to perform general hive management tasks, observe and practice bee handling techniques, and share their latest bee keeping tales in order to help everyone improve their understanding of bees and their behaviour and maximize their efficacy in promoting their ongoing health and performance. The North Shropshire Beekeepers’ Association also maintains a list of volunteers who offer to help with honey bee swarm collection during the swarming season.
