Welcome to the web site of the Mid Bucks Beekeepers Association.

The Association was founded in 1946 to serve the interests of beekeepers in the central part of Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties.

Our members benefit from

  • Contact with fellow beekeepers
  • Advice on suitable hive sites
  • Telephone and possible practical help managing bees
  • Help in dealing with difficult colonies
  • Seasonal advice on a monthly basis
  • Advice on queen raising and introduction
  • Opportunities to purchase second hand equipment and discounts on protective clothing.

The Association has a Teaching Apiary at Stoke Mandeville where meetings and practical demonstrations are held throughout the summer.

Next Meeting

The first meeting of our 2010-2011 Winter Programme will be on Wednesday 15th September at 7:30 pm in the Wendover Bowls Club

My Approach to Bee Improvement 

The vast majority of beekeepers get very confused by bee improvement, so consequently do nothing. “My Approach to Bee Improvement” is an account of a very successful programme in West Sussex where the characteristics of bees in a small area have been changed from stroppy “British Standard Mongrels” to a docile and productive “native type” that can easily be worked on single BS brood chambers.
