About us

Newton Abbot is a branch of the Devon Beekeepers Association (DBKA), which in turn is affiliated to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA). A member of NABKA is automatically entitled to membership of the other two.

Founded in 1875, DBKA has a long history which is described in interesting detail in Ron Brown’s ‘1000 Years of Devon Beekeeping’ (a copy of this booklet is held in our branch library). ‘Beekeeping’, our Association journal also forms an interesting historical record.

As a not-for-profit organisation DBKA (and Newton Abbot) are run on a voluntary basis for the benefit of bees and beekeepers. We actively encourage membership to provide the help and resources needed to promote beekeeping and to support beginners and 'old hands' alike.

Our branch has over 100 members in such places as: Abbotskerswell, Ashburton, Bishopsteignton, Bovey Tracey, Chagford, Chudleigh Knighton, Dawlish, Ipplepen, Kinsteignton, Manaton, Moretonhampstead and Widecombe-in-the-Moor.
