There are three adult levels of membership within the Association and two levels of junior membership.

Full adult membership includes an affiliate membership with the British Beekeepers’ Association, public liability insurance and BDI (bee disease insurance).

Associate membership is primarily for those members who currently do not have bees, but it affords all the benefits that the Association has to offer with the exception of a BBKA affiliate membership and BDI insurance.

Student membership is for those on a recognised beekeeping course, eg at Duchy College, and gives the student member 12 months free membership. Please contact the Membership Secretary for further details.

Full Junior membership includes all of the benefits of a full adult membership and Junior Associate has the same benefits as an Associate adult membership.
