Our principal aim is to promote the art of beekeeping, both traditional and natural, and to encourage good beekeeping practice in the Andover locality.
In the summer months, we arrange a series of visits to members' apiaries and to other social events. This is a good time to see how other beekeepers approach their tasks and exchange information, advice and tips on beekeeping.
In the colder winter months, we meet on the first Tuesday of every month, September to March, at Picket Piece Hall, Walworth Rd, Picket Piece, Andover SP11 6LY, from 7pm for a 7.30pm talk. At the meetings, guests are invited to talk on various aspects of beekeeping. These meetings are excellent events for learning more about the craft and debating the various beekeeping techniques.

Got a swarm?
Don't panic. Bees in a swarm are full of honey and calm if you leave them alone.
