Our Trustees

The BBKA was founded in 1874 and originally brought together some 26 county beekeeping associations, not to replicate their work, but to be in a stronger position to represent their interests at government level and to facilitate a nationwide educational structure supported by a common examination process.

Currently we run as an umbrella to our 74 Associations. Each Association has one elected member who votes on all things beekeeping in the UK at our Annual Delegate Meeting (ADM) held at the beginning of every year.  Appointed at the ADM are the President and 12 Trustees, who collectively comprise the Executive Committee (EC) that is the governing body of the BBKA. Delegates may adopt propositions at the Annual Delegate Meeting that provide policy direction to the EC.

We are now a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) 

Below are details of the trustees for 2022 including an email address for contacting each trustee and details of who their link associations are.  There is also information about which trustees sit on which committees.
