HBA Chair Welcome

Welcome to the members’ area of the Hampshire Beekeepers Association website. And thank you for your further interest in HBA which is one of the largest beekeeping associations in the UK.

Together with our fourteen local association members we aim to help and support Hampshire beekeepers to further improve their skills and knowledge in supporting our fascinating bees who make such an important contribution to our natural environment.

The county association has exclusive badges for sale by HBA. Only HBA members can buy them from HBA or their local associations.

The Local Association can buy these badges for £21 per ten, with postage and packing included. Individual members can order these badges directly from HBA for £3.00 each, with postage and packing to their preferred address included.

These badges generate profits that fund events and sponsorships related to the art of beekeeping.
