Every year the Shropshire Beekeepers Association takes part in activities and displays run by such organisations as The National Trust,and Acton Scott Farm Museum. We will sometimes have products for sale.  We will always be happy to talk about bees and beekeeping! Notification of particular appearances will be posted here as and when they are arranged.

We are also able to offer talks to schools in support of the National Curriculum. Teachers interested in discussing this should email the

The biggest event of our year is the Shrewsbury Flower Show, which takes place in the Quarry Park in Shrewsbury every August. Association members organise a major display of bee products, with competitive classes for honey, mead, beeswax items and so on. Bees can be seen in the Observation Hive and there is often a chance to watch demonstrations by beekeepers of their skills. The best honey from all over the County is also available to taste and/or buy. The 2010 show will be on the 13th & 14th August.

For a complete Schedule of the classes please contact Brian Goodwin (see Committee page). An Entry Form is available here.
