Local Activity Networks

Local Activity Networks – We have three local groups, covering North, South and East Herefordshire.

If you want to learn about bees, this is the best way. LAN groups meet regularly during the active beekeeping season, either at the LAN apiary (Holme Lacy, Weobley and Cradley) or a member’s apiary. Each group has at least one expert tutor, who answers questions patiently and helps us to organise our hives (we do our best, but bees do not read the same books!)

Association members are assigned to a LAN but are free to attend any of the other LANs events. If you want to have a taste of beekeeping before taking the plunge and getting your own, do come along and have a go. We have spare bee-proof clothing you can borrow so that you can look into a hive without fear of being stung. You might even see the queen. We finish up with a cup of coffee and an informal question-time. Most of us are relative beginners, so it is an ideal time to ask questions without feeling intimidated.
