​Welcome to the SGB

Every effort is made to help all of our new members to achieve all they wish to as beekeepers

​It is highly recommended that all new beekeepers attend a Beginner Beekeeping Course.
​These are available through a number of sources in the club.
Check our Beekeeping Courses Page to see when & where the next one is coming up.
