Welcome to the Swindon and District Beekeeping Association

Your gateway to the buzzing world of beekeeping! Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned beekeeper, we’re here to support your journey with a wealth of knowledge, resources, and community spirit.

As a proud division of the Wiltshire Beekeeping Association, a registered charity (Charity Number 1198735), we’re a diverse group united by our shared passion for the enchanting art of beekeeping. Our members span the spectrum—from those dreaming of their first hive to experts with decades of hands-on experience. Learn more about our story on the “About Us” page.

We’re thrilled to offer hands-on learning opportunities at our two apiaries, where members can practice handling bees with guidance from skilled beekeepers. If you’re keen to embark on your beekeeping adventure, check out our range of courses available on the “Education and Training” page.

We also love collaborating with local schools to inspire the next generation of beekeepers. Interested? Contact Kathy Hobson for details, and visit the BBKA’s “Junior Beekeeping” page for more resources.

Mark your calendar! We meet every last Thursday of the month to share insights, stories, and the latest in the beekeeping world. Details are on our “About Us” page. New members are always warmly welcomed—come along and join the hive!
