Cumbria Beekeepers Area Association arranges and supports events throughout the year, in particular the Honey Show and the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Both of these events include presentations by experts who share their knowledge and experience about bees and beekeeping, helping our members keep up to date with the latest research and approaches to bee husbandry. If you are thinking about entering a Honey show this makes for good reading. Preparing for Honey Shows The local branches have their own schedule of events and meetings. Some branches participate in the county agricultural and horticultural shows. For more information about events and beekeeping activities in your area please contact your local branch.
