About Us

Derry and District Beekeepers have an Apiary in the grounds of Brooke Park, a lovely old historical park in the Centre of the City.  Please keep looking back at our 'What's On' page to see the latest information about meetings and apiary sessions.


If you’re interested in becoming a member, with or without bees, then get in touch by email info@derryanddistrictbeekeepers.com.


We aim to have club meetings each month in the winter months. Speakers at each meeting cover a wide range of bee related topics and in the summer months there are practical sessions at the Apiary. Anyone interested in joining, whether you have bees or are just interested in beekeeping should come along or use the website contact details .
