Est. 1906
Supporting Somerset's honeybees and beekeepers
Welcome to Somerset Beekeepers' Association!
We are a volunteer-run members' organisation and Registered Charity that represents the interests of beekeepers in the county. Founded in 1906 we educate, advise and bring together more than 850 beekeepers and raise awareness of issues affecting honeybees.
If you live in Somerset and already keep bees or intend to do so, then SBKA is the association for you! Even if you don't keep bees, you are welcome to join us and help support our work.

LOCAL HONEYLocal beekeepers produce local honey! It’s usually raw (untreated), contains local pollen and is additive-free. Honey is reputed to have a variety of health benefits and medical uses – and it tastes good, too!
Local honey is available at many independent retailers as well as at our Honey Shows. |
