We are a registered educational charity whose objectives are to promote and further the craft of beekeeping. By organising lectures and producing publications, the association enables beekeepers, bee scientists and others interested in bees to keep in touch with the latest research and ideas about bees and related topics. Acting as a bridge between the beekeeper and the scientist.

The Central Association of Bee-Keepers (CABK) is a unique organisation. It invites as its speakers those who are acknowledged experts in their fields, both nationally and internationally, and there are more than ten lectures given each year. A Spring Meeting is held in London in March, a Social Evening is held during the National Honey Show, and an annual Autumn Conference is held in Stratford upon Avon in November.

A selection of lectures given to the association are published and distributed free to members. These lecture booklets, of which approximately 240 have now been produced, are offered for sale to other beekeepers and additional copies may be purchased by members at a reduced rate. They are considered essential reading for those taking the British Beekeepers Association examinations or the National Diploma in Beekeeping, and are available by post or from our stands at the Stoneleigh BBKA Spring Convention (April) and the National Honey Show (October).

Sponsored Link Hand Made Places will make a donation to the CABK of 5% on any products purchased from their online shop, subject to a message on the order form mentioning the Central Association of Beekeepers. See their bee play sculpture at:-
