Club meetings are held monthly from January to November. Our meetings are fun, friendly, interactive and educational. We strive to have a variety of speakers, talking on various related subjects. Meetings are open for anyone to come along and check us out, and are followed by supper and a chance to talk with friends, and make new ones. Learn More

icon_swarmSwarm Collection

Honeybees natural survival instinct sometimes causes them to swarm - most commonly because their current colony is overcrowded. Swarming bees may be intimidating, but they are unlikely to sting when swarming. Please don't disturb or try to kill a swarm - call a beekeeper to come and collect them. Learn More

The Manawatu Bee Club runs a two day beginners course twice a year, in spring and autumn. The course is aimed to give new beekeepers the skills and information needed to start them on their journey, and get their hives through the seasons. Both classroom and hands-on sessions are included. Learn More
