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.

Fun at the hives - 5th May

Hopefully not everyone is away for the Bank Holiday! Come along and join in with some activities at the apiary. We may be able to look at the bees, but there are other jobs to do like planting some bee friendly flower seeds (we can do this in the poly tunnels if its raining), and sorting out the bee shed (where we keep all the equipment). We will meet at the geodome at 1.30 or if you arrive later find us at the apiary or in the polytunnel.
