Welcome to the Newton Abbot Branch
of the Devon Beekeepers' Association

Our Association in South Devon now supports over 100 members. Our purpose is to promote bees and beekeeping.

We currently implementing ambitious plans to develop our Branch Apiary - which includes extending the area we lease and building a clubhouse for teaching and as a place for members to meet to discuss bees and catch up.

There is still a lot to do - the clubhouse needs completing, help is always welcome in the branch apiary and there are always beekeeping events which need your support. Please contact one of our team - we are always pleased to see new faces.
