Welcome to the new High Wycombe and District Beekeepers Association website.
If interested in taking up the beekeeping, by arriving here you have already taken the first steps in what is a very interesting pastime and both rewarding and fun! HWBKA forms part of Buckinghamshire County Bee Keepers Association, which represents Bucks at the executive level of the national body – the British Bee Keepers Association.
High Wycombe Beekeepers membership extends across an area roughly centred on the Wycombe District see this LINK for an area map
Please feel free to browse the site and review its content. We warmly welcome anyone interested in beekeeping to our monthly meetings and actively try to encourage people to take up the craft. Our association is open to everybody – young and old.
HONEY BEE SWARMS - Found a swarm that needs collecting/removal...?
Before calling us please ensure it is a swarm of honey bees and that they are freely hanging. (We are unable to collect bees that have set up a nest within a building’s structure.)
This is what a typical swarm of honey bees may look like. It may be larger or smaller than this, but generally it will appear as an elongated ball of bees, usually hanging on a tree or structure exposed to the elements.
PLEASE CLICK ON THIS LINK – for full details of how to contact us, the area we operate within and to check you have identified correctly that it is a swarm of honey bees
