Bucks County Beekeepers Association

Much of the early history is a little unclear, and the county organisation seems to have had a couple of false starts and relapses, but despite the minor gaps we can be proud of our County Association’s long history. Its centenary was celebrated in 1983, but another source begins its narrative with a Mr H. Edwards, the County Bee Expert touring the County and drumming up interest in 1901-1904. His function was to educate and illuminate, quite literally, for his equipment included an acetylene lamp and lantern slides, which he exhibited, remarkably, from the back of a van.
