Who are we?
HBA is a registered charity (Charity number: 1000995) dedicated to promoting
and furthering the craft of beekeeping and the education of the public therein
in Hampshire.
HBA represents Hampshire at the British Beekeepers Association (“BBKA”) on
behalf of its fourteen local Hampshire associations. It is a condition of
membership of BBKA that individual beekeepers in Hampshire are members
of HBA which all are by virtue of registered membership of one of the local
associations.
In addition to the regular exchange of information with the BBKA, all local
associations may suggest issues which HBA should raise with BBKA and
comment on issues HBA proposes to raise with BBKA. HBA promotes
education in the craft of beekeeping through an annual one-day convention
and honey show and works with the local associations to promote the BBKA
organised examinations systems. In addition, HBA organises winter talks, provides access to its extensive library relating to beekeeping, and co-
ordinates action across the county on issues such as tackling the Asian Hornet threat.
