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

We will hold our AGM on Thursday 17th October, at 7.30pm, upstairs at the Fox and Vivian pub at 32 Clarendon Avenue. This will be an opportunity for you to hear about the past year in beekeeping. We will discuss some ideas about how to improve the bee club in the coming year, and also have a talk about sustainable beekeeping using "Warre" hives - a smaller style of fixed top bar hive.
Members of CCB will be able to pick up their share of the honey harvest. If you cant come to the AGM, you can pick up your honey at a future bee club meeting.
If you did not join the bee club this year, you are very welcome to come along to the AGM to learn more about what we have been up to. We will be offering people the chance to join early for next year. You will only be able to purchase honey if there is still some remaining after all current members have purchased.
Hope you can come!
