The British Beekeepers’ Association (BBKA) looks after our members who keep honey bees as a hobby. If you are a BBKA member please include your membership number as this helps us process your inquiry more quickly. Due to the volume of calls and emails about bees during the summer months please visit the swarm pages before you contact us - all the information we can give you is listed there and we are unlikely to be able to respond individually to your queries. We are always happy to hear from the general public but please note we are a very small office team and can only respond to queries during office hours.
