The FBKA membership year starts on 1st October, and is charged annually. There is a reduction if you join mid-season. We also offer an ‘Associate’ (Local) membership. A description of all our membership categories and rates can be found on the Membership Information page.
Full membership includes:
- FBKA membership with our apiary and learning opportunities, newsletter, members’ events (winter talks, disease clinic, honey show etc), honey extractor hire, bulk purchase on wax foundation, fondant and so on.
- British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) membership. We are affiliated to the BBKA via Surrey Beekeepers, of which we are a division. This includes an excellent news magazine BBKA News, and Public Indemnity and Bee Disease insurance in case it is necessary to destroy a colony due to a notifiable disease (fortunately rare).
- Beecraft magazine – an excellent monthly publication.
Our members attend local fairs and fetes during the summer season including Tilford Village Fair and The Bourne Show, where we show bees in an observation hive and sell locally produced honey. We also support events at the Rural Life Living Museum including Rustic Sunday and the Activity Thursdays they hold during the school summer holiday.
