Whilst not the most exciting of topics, KBKA has a set of bye-laws to determine how it is run – after all, Kent Beekeepers Association is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. In case you are wondering exactly how KBKA is supposed to run, here are the recently updated bye-laws in all their glory. The notes below identify the most recent changes approved at the AGM in June 2015.

The Kent Honey Show is part of the county show from 10-12 July at the showground at the top of Detling Hill (on the A249, ME14 3JF). Kent Beekeepers do demonstrations to the public, as well as run a honey show. Publicity for the latter this year has been lacking, but for your information, I attach the Honey Show schedule. Entries were due in on 26th June.
You can read the introduction to the beekeeping event here.
