THE NEW FOREST BEEKEEPERS
ASSOCIATION

Welcome to our website. The New Forest Beekeepers' Association represents the interests of beekeepers and beekeeping in the New Forest and surrounding area.

We are one of the largest beekeeping associations in England and are affiliated to the Hampshire Beekeepers' Association and the British Beekeepers' Association. If there is anything that is not covered here and you would like to know please get in touch using the contact tab above.

Established over 100 years in the New Forest we have a full program of events throughout the beekeeping year. The highlight being the Honey and Bee Tent at the New Forest County Show.

Joining the New Forest Beekeepers

The New Forest & District Beekeepers Association supports beekeepers from the New Forest and surrounding areas. From beginners looking to start a new hobby through to experienced beekeepers, we welcome anyone wishing to join an enthusiastic, friendly local association.

The New Forest & District Beekeepers' Association is run by a team of enthusiastic beekeepers. As part of our services we offer introductory beekeeping courses, practical beekeeping sessions, apiary visits and community events. Our programme of talks supports the preservation of bee populations. Our members enjoy additional benefits including loaning beekeeping equipment, such as honey extractors.
