Membership enquiries:
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).
