If you have found a swarm or are troubled by bees then contact one of our voluntary swarm officers on the Help! page.
The association is active in seven branches – Barnet, Bishops Stortford, North Herts, St Albans, South East Herts, Welwyn and West Herts. There are over 200 members and regular meetings are held across the county to learn about beekeeping and share experiences.
Additionally there is a community bee garden in Hitchin called BuzzWorks.
Anyone keen to learn about beekeeping may contact any of the local groups.
