The Lancashire & North West Beekeepers Association is a registered charity (No 506167) and was founded in 1882.
The Association is affiliated to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) and is one of the oldest beekeeping Associations in England.
The Association covers the counties of Lancashire and part of Merseyside and has six Branches in total. Some of the Branches run coursesfor beginners and some also provide assistance for new members. Branches with an Internet presence provide programmes (e.g. meeting and event dates) on their own web sites otherwise a programme of events is held with us.
The Association holds a one day Annual Convention in the Spring which gives the members of all seven Branch's a chance to meet up, we invite national and internationally renowned beekeepers to come and lecture us. We have two lectures in the morning and two in the afternoon.
The Association also has an extensive collection of beekeeping related library booksthat members can borrow.
