BEDFORDSHIRE BEE KEEPERS ASSOCIATION 

Beekeeping is a craft which is learned through both knowledge and practical experience, informed by evolving good practice and ever-growing scientific research. Beds BKA aims to provide a high standard of training for members, and potential new beekeepers of all ages, and a range of services to support them. We hope to enhance public appreciation of the role of bees in the world.
