BBKA: British Beekeeper’s Association
BDI insurance compensates insured beekeepers for equipment losses where their bees are destroyed or treated for Notifiable diseases – American and European Foul Brood.
Of course, all are invited to the regular meetings. At the meetings we usually have a guest speaker to cover a topic of interest to beekeepers. These are of local Stowmarket beekeeping interest, and will often cover seasonal subjects so you can get beekeeping advice relevant to the time of year.
