The Andover and District Beekeepers Association is a thriving association of amateur beekeepers looking after the interests of existing members and newcomers to beekeeping in the Andover area.

Come along and join in

We meet regularly to exchange information and keep abreast of issues relating to beekeeping as well as simply to socialise. Topics we cover include bee health, beekeeping techniques and theories, bee products, advice and access to BBKA training modules as well as practical apiary visits.

We are one of the many associations that make up the larger body of the British Beekeepers Association (www.bbka.org.uk) and our association is one of the many that make up the Hampshire Beekeepers Association (HBA).

Beekeeping Introductory Training 2025

The next course will commence in January 2025 over seven one-hour sessions and take you through basic steps which will lead to important practical experience.

Honey Show Schedule 2024

Let’s make it a record number of entries for this year’s Honey Show…in our new venue and the weather! And, of course, the really great class 15 where you can enter your own delicious honey!

Natural Beekeeping

Natural beekeeping covers a wide spectrum of practices but basically will involve non or minimal intervention into the Bee’s nest environment.

Got a swarm?

Don't panic! Bees in a swarm are full of honey and happy if you leave them alone. Contact our swarm officer for advice and collection.
