We are the Branch or grassroots level of the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) and provide practical advice on all aspects of bee keeping.

The Association was founded in 1947 and is still going strong.

We are part of the Suffolk Beekeepers Association (SBA), the county group which links the members to the BBKA.

  • We arrange lectures and social gatherings.
  • We take our bees to local shows and sell honey.
  • We publish our own newsletter.
  • We have an "Agency" arrangement with Thornes Limited for purchasing bee keeping equipment and this enables us to obtain discounts which we pass on to our members.
  • We have a teaching apiary near Leiston, for all members old and new.

All welcome - please contact us - or see us at the Suffolk Game and Country Show June 21 to 22 2008

Don't forget - National Insect Week - June 23 to 29 2008
