Beverley
Beekeepers' Association
The local
Beekeeping Association for East
Yorkshire
Beverley
Parks
Our association teaching apiary is at the Millenium
Orchard, Beverley Parks just off Long Lane near Beverley.
The apiary is managed by a team of member volunteers and we
keep around 4-6 hives there to be used for member
demonstrations and to teach new beekeepers. The site is
ideal with seclusion, protection from the wind and good
space for teaching groups and individuals.There is a
seasonal range of forage for the bees from Oil Seed Rape in
the spring through to Ivy in the autumn.
Each summer we hold an Open Day at Beverley Parks to
demonstrate bees and beekeeping to local people. Visit the
Open Day page to learn more.
The pictures in this section show a sequence of events as a
hive is opened and examined at Beverley Parks by some of
the volunteers. The story the pictures tell represents some
of the activities that students on one of our courses might
experience as they observe and then take part managing a
colony of bees.
