Newbury and Vale & Downland 
Beekeepers’ Associations

Welcome to the web site of the Newbury and Wantage Beekeepers’ Associations
For information, the Wantage group changed its name during 2007 to
Vale & Downland Beekeepers Association

If you keep bees or are interested in keeping bees and live near Newbury, Berkshire, or Wantage, Oxfordshire, we believe that we can help you.

The two associations are similar and share a monthly newsletter (click to see a recent edition). 
Members attend each other’s meetings, social events and outside visits. Committees.
Both associations are affiliated to the BBKA

Working parties to look after Golly's bees

A small group went out on Saturday 19th April. We checked about 24 of the 60-odd hives then.   An SBI visit has been held this week, and the next working party will be on Saturday 3rd May (10am start in Highclere).

Cliff Marriott is co-ordinating this - call him (or email) if you'd like to lend a hand.
