The Constitution

The Principal Constitutional AIM of the Nottinghamshire Beekeepers Association shall be to promote membership inclusiveness and the advancement of Beekeeping in the County through training, mentoring, networking, social and membership meetings to share the development and improvement of the craft of Beekeeping to everyone


​The Defra Healthy Bees Plan


​The Nottinghamshire Beekeepers Association has adopted the DEFRA Healthy Bees Plan and will endeavour to deliver its principles to its members.

Reporting the Presence of Varroa on BeeBase

​On 21st April, 2021 an amendment to the Bee Diseases and Pests Control (England) Order 2006 comes into force requiring beekeepers and or officials to report the presence of Varroa in any of the hives that they manage. This amendment will allow England to comply with the Animal Health Law which is necessary for future working relationships with the European Union. Similar arrangements are being made in Wales and Scotland. To make this simple, a tick box will be introduced to BeeBase, the voluntary register for beekeepers managed by the National Bee Unit. This will allow beekeepers and inspectors to report the presence or absence of Varroa. Although Varroa is known to be widespread, it continues to be one of the most serious pests faced by beekeepers. Reporting Varroa will contribute to the overall pest and disease surveillance work of the National Bee Unit and we are grateful for your assistance with this new simple measure.
