Romsey BKA
Romsey and District Beekeepers' Association was founded in 1920 to foster interest in the craft of beekeeping.
It also aims to represent the interest of beekeepers in the area of the lower Test Valley, north as far as Broughton, east and west to Chandlers Ford and the New Forest.
Today the Association has around 120 members from all walks of life and with one exception are all hobbyists operating from one to twenty colonies.
