Rugby Beekeepers are one of eight associations that are a part of the Warwickshire Beekeepers Association. The Warwickshire Beekeepers Association is a registered charity and our declared charitable goal is to "to advance the education of the public and beekeepers in the craft of beekeeping and promote the importance of bees in the environment". The public events that we attend allow us to do this by interacting with the visitors, explaining what we do, why we do it and more importantly how people can help bees and even become beekeepers. At most events we have a handful of people who really want to find out more about the craft of beekeeping and some of them ask us to put them down on the list of people wishing to attend our beginners' course.
