Welcome to Canalside Community Bees

Welcome to Canalside Community Bees! We are a cooperative bee club, or a honey CSA (Community Supported Apiculture!). Members of Canalside Community Bees invest at the start of the year to buy the required equipment. Through the year members get involved in managing the bees, building hives, planting bee friendly flora, harvesting honey and making use of hive products. Honey share members pay extra to get a share of the honey at harvest time.

We keep our bees on the site of Canalside Community Food (www.canalsidecommunityfood.org.uk/), a Community Supported Agriculture project just outside Leamington Spa. We are starting out this year (2012) with 4 hives and hope to expand as soon as the season gets going.

Canalside Community Bees AGM

CCB will hold a launch AGM on Wednesday 19th May at Bath Place from 7.30 (please try to be punctual). We will start with a meeting to introduce the project and the steering group, and to hear your ideas about how the Bee club can develop. This will be followed by teas / coffees and then a screening of the documentary film "The Vanishing of the Bees" which looks at Colony Collapse Disorder and other problems facing bees worldwide, and the links to pesticide use. Hope to see you there!
