If you'd like to contact a beekeeping association in Scotland, the national organisation is the Scottish Beekeepers Association (http://www.scottishbeekeepers.org.uk/). Individual membership of the SBA brings the benefits of a monthly magazine, free insurance and compensation cover for up to 10 hives in Scotland, an active programme of workshops, the opportunity to benefit from a structured education system, an annual convention, the chance to socialise with a wide range of beekeepers and the opportunity to influence discussions with government.

Contact details for the main office bearers are here: http://www.scottishbeekeepers.org.uk/

To contact the administrator of this forum, run by the SBA, use the 'Contact us' link at the foot of this page.

There are currently 44 local beekeeping associations affiliated to the SBA in Scotland. Local associations are independently run organisations with their own Constitutions, office bearers and individual members. Updated contact details for the secretaries can be found here:
