Story

This International Meeting of Young Beekeepers from around the world (IMYB) is our flagship event for 2017 and we are delighted to play host to this activity. 

We are thankful to have the support of Lord Stern of Brentford and he has welcomed this innovative approach to securing a future for Beekeeping. He say's

"Honeybees are highly dependant on beekeepers to ensure their survival especially when faced with lack of forage, pests and diseases. 

It is vital then that we encourage young people to take up beekeeping and I am thus delighted to support the British Beekeepers Association and their innovative approach to working with and inspiring a new  generation of Beekeepers.

I wish the event every success and I look forward to seeing more young people engage with Beekeeping as a result of this activity.

Thank you in advance of any donation you give to help secure our future"

Lord Stern of Brentford
