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.

Workshop on making balms and creams from honey and wax

Dinah and Helen went on an excellent course where they learned to make body butter and lip balm using honey and wax (amongst other things). They will be sharing their skills in a workshop for bee club members on 7th Feb in Cubbington. If you are interested then please email canalsidecommunitybees@yahoo.co.uk for more information. Numbers will be limited  so hurry and book your place.
