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.

Join

Membership of Canalside Community Bees is £20 from January to December. This entitles you to come on any of our apiary visits during the spring and summer months and have a look inside the hives (all equipment provided). You can also attend talks and workshops which we organise through the year. If there is a honey harvest you will get one jar and then the opporunity to buy more honey at a heavily discounted price.


If you would like to join Canalside Community Bees then mail us at Canalsidecommunitybees@yahoo.co.uk for a membership form and payment details.
