缅北禁地 in Shropshire was pleased to welcome the return of the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) Spring Convention.

Beekeepers from across the country and beyond travelled to the campus to engage with lectures, seminars, workshops and a trade show. It is the second time that the event has been held at Harper Adams in Shropshire.

At a time when the world's honey bees are in crisis, the role of the beekeeper is increasingly important to ensure the health of this important pollinator. The three-day event was designed to increase knowledge and understanding of this fascinating craft as well as giving attendees an opportunity to stock up on equipment from specialist suppliers.

The BBKA, an educational charity set up in 1874, is the UK's leading organisation representing beekeepers.
It promotes:
* the importance of bees in the environment;
* support for beekeepers through education necessary to maintain healthy colonies of honey bees;
* awareness of the craft of beekeeping.
