Nuneaton and Atherstone Branch

Nuneaton and Atherstone Beekeepers are involved in many events in the local area. We have regular apiary meetings during the Spring and Summer and a full programme of Winter meetings with a wide selection of speakers and subjects, these run from September to April.

From May to August, apiary meetings are held fortnightly on Thursday evenings commencing at 6.30 pm at the apiary. This is situated in Arbury Park.

A number of spare veils etc. are kept on hand, this enables visitors and potential new members to experience bees 'up close' and to decide if beekeeping is for them before having to make an investment in their own protective clothing.

In winter, indoor meetings are held on the first Thursday in the month commencing at 7.30 pm at The Old Peoples' Centre. This at the junction of Newtown Road and Bond Street, Nuneaton.

We have twenty full members who participate in different roles. We are always pleased to welcome new members to the branch and to pass on our experiences, which are wide and varied. An experienced beekeeper will associate him or herself with a new member and assist them to overcome the difficulties that may be experienced during their first season.

Arbury Park

The park is private. Anyone wishing to visit the apiary should contact the Honorary Secretary.
