Info on beekeeping for Chippenham Eco Future Fest visitors

People usually join one of four WBKA branches if they keep bees or want to learn how to keep bees.

  • Kennet
  • Melksham & District
  • Swindon & District
  • West Wilts

Each branch runs its own meetings, events and education programme, while the Wiltshire Beekeepers Association coordinates activity between the clubs and across the county. 

Prospective members are welcome to attend any of the branch meetings to find out more, or visit their respective websites.
