The Wisborough Green Division has a large catchment area with many members living in the villages of the centre and north of West Sussex, and some in adjoining counties.
The Wisborough Green Division has it’s own website www.wgbka.org.uk where visitors can find the information they need, including a large section to help the general public who may have a swarm visit them. This gives advice on identification, how to deal with it and a list of beekeepers who are prepared to collect swarms.

There is a large teaching apiary with usually between 20 and 30 hives of bees in different stages that are used for tuition. Apiary meetings are held throughout the summer on every third Saturday and third Wednesday in between, making meetings every 10-11 days.
In addition there are 'Preliminary' groups for those who are just starting and these are held on different days. Please see the Division's website for full details of how to book a place on one of these groups.
There are ten approved Demonstrators, and groups are streamed on ability, 'Preliminary', 'Beginner/Intermediate' and 'Advanced'. Non beekeepers are welcome to attend any 'Preliminary' meeting where they can see inside a beehive and handle frames with bees on. See the Wisborough Green website for details.
