Tree planting at Amersham Training Apiary

The British Beekeepers’ Association celebrated its 150th anniversary on Thursday 16th May 2024!

To mark the occasion, all member Associations and Branches were given the opportunity to plant sesquicentennial trees in their apiaries, funded by the BBKA as part of the 150 year celebrations.  Honey bees, bumblebees and many other species depend on trees for food, and the BBKA trees will last well into the future - even another 150 years!

Two trees donated from the BBKA were planted on 22 October 2024, along with a further two trees donated by past Chalfonts Beekeepers' Society Chairman, Gillian Jones.
