Wakefield & Pontefract
Beekeepers Association
Our association has been promoting and educating beekeepers since 1928 and we work hard to live up to that long tradition. We cover a large area in the heart of West Yorkshire from west of Wakefield to east of Pontefract, with approximately 50 members ranging from hobbyists with just one or two hives to commercial honey producers.
We give a warm welcome to newcomers and anyone interested to find out more about bees, offering beginners’ training sessions and mentors with our more senior members always available at the end of the phone to offer help.

Did you know?
An average worker bee makes only about 1/12 teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.
“Human beings have fabricated the illusion that in the 21st century they have the technological prowess to be independent of nature. Bees underline the reality that we are more, not less, dependent on nature’s services in a world of close to 7 billion people”
