Welcome to the West Sussex Beekeepers' Association |  | Beekeeping in West Sussex |  | | This website is intended to give information to those who are interested in the keeping of honey bees in West Sussex, hive products and their uses. The majority of beekeeping activity is done at Divisional level, and for that reason this website should be seen as a signposting service. We hope your enquiry can be dealt with quickly at local level. Membership of West Sussex Beekeepers is via one of the four Divisions. | Found a swarm? Check out the BBKA website to find a local swarm collector closest to your postcode - BBKA Find a Swarm Collector. Or use the Divisions link to find your local Division and members who will be pleased to deal with swarms of honey bees. Unfortunately we cannot help with bumble bees. See the Bumblebee Conservation Trust website for advice: www.bumblebeeconservation.org/bumblebee-nests/#findnest A swarm in May is worth a load of hay; A swarm in June is worth a silver spoon; But a swarm in July is not worth a fly.

| There is one masterpiece, the hexagonal cell, that touches perfection. No living creature, not even human, has achieved, in the centre of one’s sphere, what the bee has achieved on her own: And if intelligence from another world were to descend and ask of the earth the most perfect creation, I would offer the humble comb of honey. Maurice Maeterlinck 'The Life of the Bee' (1924)
