Welcome
to the Fleet and District Beekeepers
Association
The Fleet & District Beekeeping
Association (FBKA) exists to encourage, train and support
local beekeepers to maintain healthy, docile and
productive honey bees as well as advancing the education
of the public in the importance of bees in the
environment. We hold regular meetings and other events to
promote best practice and further the craft of beekeeping
and have many members in and around Fleet and surrounding
towns and villages including Crookham, Odiham, Hook,
Hartley Wintney and Farnborough. Over the last few years
with the growing interest in beekeeping as a hobby, our
numbers have continued to grow significantly.
Prospective beekeepers are always made welcome in our
very friendly association. If you are interested in
becoming a beekeeper, or just want to learn more about
this fascinating hobby, you can download an introduction
to beekeeping and our association here or use the contact form

Dealing with a swarm of bees
If you see a swarm
of bees like this, typically in a tree or hedge from
April until August then don't worry! Bees in a swarm are
completely harmless when left alone. If you are in North
Hampshire, simply call our local swarms coordinator,
Keith Brand on 07792 549245 or 01252 626863 who will
arrange for the collection and rehousing of the swarm by
a local experienced beekeeper. Otherwise look
here for a list of
local swarm coordinators across the UK.
