THE LONDON BEEKEEPERS' ASSOCIATION

Promote the craft of beekeeping in an urban environment through education of our members and interested members of the general public. Promote the needs of pollinating insects other than honey bees, through media appearances, public outreach and collaborations with local councils, other organisations and academics. Develop and deliver pollinator forage-planting projects throughout London.
