Petersfield & District Beekeepers' Association
“The Petersfield & District Beekeepers’ Association” was formed in 1941 as the “Steep Beekeepers’ Association” being encouraged by the need to ‘grow one’s own food’ during the war years and after. In the 1950’s the name changed to Petersfield & District Beekeepers Association with the Object ‘to promote and further the craft of beekeeping’. Since then it has maintained a regular membership of around 100 beekeepers plus interested friends and family.
Throughout the year our members talk to groups both young and old about our craft and the importance of honeybees and other pollinators.
