North Somerset Beekeepers
Founded in 1952, we are a part of the Avon Beekeepers Association and currently we have more than 200 members across the North Somerset Region.
At North Somerset Beekeepers we organise numerous events and courses all year round, which are normally open to everyone, not just members. These events range from community fairs, guest lectures and practical workshops, to social gatherings and Christmas meals. Our courses help to educate aspiring Beekeepers!

North Somerset Beekeepers want to make people aware of the dangers Asian Hornets pose to our native Honey Bee population. Asian Hornets are highly aggressive and prey on other insects, notably Honey Bees. Therefore we urge anyone who spots one to notify the authorities. Potentially it could be a huge problem but together as a community we can mitigate the risk they pose to our honey bee colonies and the wider environment.
