Beekeeping is the maintenance of honey bee colonies in hives, in order to collect honey and beeswax, this maybe for the purpose of pollinating crops, or to produce honey for sale. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary. The technical name for beekeeping is apiculture, based on the word "apis" which is the latin term for bees.
The Portsmouth and District Beekeepers are currently numbering over 75 registered, partner and country members. We have monthly meetings outdoors in the spring and summer when we hold apiary meetings, and indoor meetings in autumn and winter. We are affiliated to Hampshire Beekeepers Association and the British Beekeepers Association. We openly welcome newcomers to join us so why not get in touch? |
