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!

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.
