Northern Beekeepers

Northern Beekeepers' Convention - join us each spring at our friendly, informative and sociable events

[Northern Beekeepers @NEBEES]

Due to changes with our venue and availability of our small voluntary committee we won't be holding a convention this year. We'll be using 2020 to modernise our organisation and look for a new 'home'. If you would like to get involved in our transformation drop us an email.

The convention speakers have arrived. They’re looking forward to presenting their thrifty beekeeping thoughts at our convention tomorrow. A small number of tickets available at the door, which opens 8.30am
