About Us

Honey bee on flower

Welcome to the Rugby Beekeepers Association website. We are probably one of the smallest branches of the eight in Warwickshire, with around 80 members. We hold regular monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of each month, outside of the beekeeping season. We have interesting talks from visiting experts on a variety of beekeeping topics. Maurice West, one of our long standing members, has written a short history of Rugby Beekeepers, you can read it here.

During the beekeeping season we run monthly training sessions at our branch apiary where our members can learn how perform inspections and manipulations on the colonies.

Through our County Association, Warwickshire Beekeepers Association we are a registered charity, our charity number is 1197656
