Welcome!
Pinner & Ruislip Beekeepers’ Association help current and future beekeepers as well as promoting public awareness of the necessity, value and benefits of the honeybees.
You may have found our site because you are interested in being a beekeeper or maybe you just want to buy some delicious local honey! Or you may even just want to find out more about honeybees. For whatever reason we hope you find something in our pages that will be useful to you.
We enjoy beekeeping immensely and are not put off by the challenges that impact beekeeping today. By encouraging new people to become beekeepers, we are hopefully ensuring the success of honeybees in their ongoing battle against parasitic mites, other pests and diseases.
Beekeeping is a fascinating and rewarding hobby and nothing gives greater pleasure than eating your own honey. A new world awaits you in the study of the bees themselves, the workings of the hive and the bees’ role in the environment. (see article: So you would like to keep bees.)
Honeybees have provoked an interest unequalled by any other insect. They have evolved alongside flowering plants over millions of years, fulfilling a major role in the food chain by pollinating fruit and seed crops.
