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.

Upcoming Talk - 18th April

We have booked a really interesting speaker to give an evening talk on Thursday 18th April. Chris Parks keeps bees in straw skeps and top bar hives both of which could be considered more 'natural' ways of beekeeping. He will talk about his experiences. He will also share his interest in the heritage of honey. All in all it should be a facinating evening. More details will be posted up once we have booked the venue.
