A friendly and knowledgeable beekeeping club based in the heart of Lincolnshire.

What we do
_________________________________________________________
Monthly club meetings
Club meetings take place on the third Tuesday of the month from 7-9pm
The meeting venue is Martin village hall LN4 3QT but location may vary throughout the season.
Meetings range from guest speakers to social evenings and a full programme can be found under the news and events tab
Apiary Days
As we are fortunate enough to have our own club apiary we try and meet every Saturday afternoon during the season, this is of course very weather dependant
Our Apiary manager will confirm with beginner course attendees and can be contacted by emailing leona.bees@yahoo.com

Local trips are held throughout the year and will be discussed at club meetings and listed on the website
These educational trips are a superb source of information for beginners and our more experienced beekeepers alike

Club Apiary
Our hidden gem
In 2019 the club was fortunate enough to be able to establish its own apiary.
This enables beginners to experience beekeeping on a range of hives, within a group, and on a regular basis.
The apiary provides the opportunity to learn by 'doing' as all beginners will be taught how to conduct a full hive inspection, as well as the basics like lighting a smoker.
The apiary is managed by one of our club members and members are welcome to attend by prior arrangement. we also host open club days at the site to welcome family members and those who may be interested in the the course.
