Beekeeping in the United Kingdom

[1] Skeps or baskets made from wicker or coils of straw or grass were used as hives to house the bees and protect them from the weather and predators.Due to the vital role beekeeping played in British agriculture and industry, special allotments of sugar were allowed for each hive during World War II.[9] The BBKA Spring Convention is an annual event which has 20+ Lectures; 60+ Workshops & Seminars for beekeepers of all abilities.It would have been held at Harper Adams University in Shropshire on 3–5 April 2020, however it was cancelled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.It was originally intended as an appropriate qualification for County Beekeeping Instructors and Lecturers, of which there were some forty full- and part-time appointments across the United Kingdom at that time.
