Welcome.
The Twickenham and Thames Valley Bee-keepers' Association is a U.K. Registered Charity (Reg.No. 2964439) whose aim is to educate the general public in bee-keeping.
Twickenham and Thames Valley Bee-keepers hold free classes for individuals, offer opportunities for group visits and welcome the general public to our annual Honey Show and Open Day events. These pages are principally intended to serve as an introduction to the Association and it is hoped they may encourage you to make contact with us to learn more about bees and bee-keeping.

10th June - STOP PRESS: PARKING AT THE APIARY The gate posts have been replaced and the grass has more-or-less withstood the Open Day bashing, so parking inside the Apiary is now possible. Please try and keep your use of car visits to a minimum (and manoueuvre slowly and carefully on the grass to avoid damage). Please do not use Heatham House space - remember this is still a favour from them and we do not want to abuse their hospitality.

The RBI inspection of the T&TV colonies was conducted on June 17th. No notifiable disease was present.

SCHOOLS AND OTHER GROUPS: If you would like to plan an educational visit, download information and useful links here.
