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.

April 6th Apiary Meeting - Planting the Nectar Garden

The next apiary meeting will be on April 6 when we will be planting our nectar garden (as long as this cold weather has ended by then!). We have bought a large selection of organic nectar and pollen producing plants which will help the bees to have food throughout the summer. We will be planting these amongst the fruit trees near to the apiary at Canalside Community Food (CCF), Southam Road, Radford Semele. We will meet at 2pm at the CCF Barn. There will be a social event at CCF that day so there will be a lot of people around. If you are not a member of CCF then please make yourself known / ask for a bee club member! Any questions, email us at canalsidecommunitybee@yahoo.co.uk.
