Mid Cheshire Beekeepers (MCBK) is one of five branches in the Cheshire Beekeeping Association (CBKA), the others being North Cheshire, South Cheshire, Wirral and Stockport. Established in 2012, MCBK is the youngest CBKA branch and now has around one hundred members, many of whom have just started beekeeping.
We aim to promote the craft of beekeeping and increase public awareness of the importance of honeybees and other pollinating insects to our well-being and existence. To this end we provide training and mentoring for new beekeepers, hold meetings on a range of subjects for both novice and experienced beekeepers, host apiary visits, organise stands at various shows throughout the county, and give talks to schools and local community organisations.
If you are interested in becoming a beekeeper, please come along to any of our branch meetings listed on the Events page of this website where you will be most welcome. If you wish to join MCBK then please download and complete the membership form shown on the About Us page of this website.

Best wishes from the MCBK Committee for an enjoyable and peaceful festive period and a successful beekeeping season in 2025

NEXT MEETING
MCBK Annual General Meeting followed
by a short talk on Infused Honey
Blue Cap, Sandiway, CW8 2DN
Monday 6th January 2025 (7.30 pm)
Our first meeting of the year is the AGM during which we review the past year’s events and finances, welcome new members to the committee, outline our 2025 programme of meetings and address any items which members would like to discuss.
Following the AGM Ian Turley and Sarah Johnson will present a short talk on how to make infused honey, samples of which will be available for everyone to taste.
In November our Secretary, Ian Turley, circulated a note to all MCBK members requesting any items you would like to be included on the agenda together with an invitation for nominations to the committee, either as an officer (i.e. Chair, Secretary, Treasurer) or general committee member. Ian included a nomination form and the draft minutes of our 2024 AGM in his note but they are also available via the links below.
Please contact Ian at [email protected] if you have any questions about the AGM.
