Edinburgh and Midlothian Beekeepers' Association

Summer Approaching.

This spring has been mild if not a little cold, but colonies are building up fast, so the swarm season is approaching, time to do weekly checks. Be prepared, a swarm lost is an opportunity missed!

Fancy Beekeeping?
This has to be one of the most fascinating and rewarding pastimes around. Getting involved is easy and opens a whole new world in the study of honeybees, their role in the environment, social behaviour, and the workings of a beehive. The beekeeping community is ever present to help you get the best from your endeavours and nothing gives greater pleasure than eating honey from your very own hives! More about Beekeeping.
