Welcome
Welcome to the Kingston Beekeepers Association (also known as the KBKA).
We support beekeeping, local biodiversity and conservation in the Kingston area. We also raise awareness of honey bees and how important they are to the world around us. Read more about our values and community activities.
We’re a teaching apiary and offer introductory taster sessions, beginner and intermediate courses. We are happy to say Beekeeper training is now back on the agenda, you can see examples of our courses or contact us to find out more.
We also welcome experienced beekeepers to join the KBKA and share their knowledge with other members.
