We are a local non-profit making group of beekeepers (and those interested in bees) based at Kemnay, Inverurie in the heart of beautiful Aberdeenshire in Scotland.
Local people aspiring to keep honey bees are mentored by more experienced beekeepers to help them learn and refine the mystical art of beekeeping.
New Members or thinking about it?
We welcome new members. If you are not sure if beekeeping is for you, then come along to a meeting, before you decide, and chat to other members, our experiences are varied.
