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.

APIARY MEETING
Change of Venue

MCBK Training Apiary
Grozone, Dane Nurseries, Northwich, CW9 5QA
Monday 7th July (6.30pm for 7.00pm start)
This is the third of the four MCBK Apiary Meetings scheduled for the spring/summer. Owing to a possible bee health problem at Nick and Sarah’s apiary in Antrobus we have changed the venue to our training apiary in Northwich. All apiary visits are dependent on the weather and the status of the bees so please keep an eye on this website and our WhatsApp pages for any updates on the visit.
All CBKA members are welcome to attend this meeting but please contact Ian Turley
at MCBKSecretary@midcheshirebeekeepers.co.uk by Friday 4th July if you are
intending to participate because we need to know numbers in advance.
