Consultation on keeping of bees on allotments

At the August Allotment Committee meeting it was agreed that there should be a consultation on whether beekeeping should be allowed on the allotments. We’ve drafted some Beekeeping Rules, taken from those already used by BDBC. If this concerns you, please could you read through these and let us know – by email to :

• Whether or not you think beekeeping should be allowed
• Reasons for your opinion
• Whether the draft Rules require any changes.

Please could you let us have any feedback by the 10 September? You will also have an opportunity to discuss this with committee members at a drop in session on 1000-1200 on 5 and 6 September – contact for details.
