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.

We had a buzzing first steering group meeting last night getting busy making arrangements for the Honey CSA. Looking forward to getting some of the Bee Club jobs done on saturday so hope all you enthusiasts out there will be flying by...We are hoping to arrange some more bee related events in the coming months such as film nights and talks so look out for that. The first film will most likely be the Vanishing of the Bees, a documentary exploring the decline of honeybees and the ecological, political and economic implications of that. It offers advice as to what we can do to help the situation...such as joining your local Bee Club! x
