Make a Donation

Thank you for your interest in honey bees and the British Beekeepers' Association.   Please donate to help support our work.

The easiest way to donate to one of our current appeals is via the 'Donate Now' button below.  However, there are also other ways you can support or donate to the BBKA and these are also listed below.

Save the Bees:     Donate Now

Honey bees face many threats:

  • Climate change
  • Loss of forage
  • Use of pesticides
  • Pests and diseases.

They now also face an additional threat from the Yellow-Legged Asian Hornet so we need your help to stop them from becoming established in the UK.

The BBKA needs your help so we can raise awareness and educate the public about the threat of Yellow-Legged Asian Hornets and the importance of reporting all sightings.  We must act now to stop them from becoming established in this country and decimating our pollinators.    Any funds you can give will be helping our honey bees in a very real way!  


Apiary & Education:     Donate Now

Help the BBKA raise funds for our new Apiary Garden and Education Centre which is a live resource for learning, through discovery and creativity, about the importance of honey bees, pollinators, beekeeping and the environment.  Our offices in Stoneleigh provide the perfect location for our new Education Centre as we are in the heart of England and can welcome visitors from all over the UK.

We are now able to invite school groups free of charge to spend a day with us learning about honey bees and pollinators and their importance to the environment.  We offer a relaxed, informal learning environment where children are encouraged to participate and ask questions to enhance their learning.  Please click here for further information about our school visits.


More ways to support us:

 We can accept donations via the 'Just Giving' online fundraising platform.

We have teamed up with 'Work for Good' to make it easy for small businesses to support the BBKA through their sales in a simple, sustainable and legal way.

Raise money for the BBKA from your everyday shopping online with 'Give as you Live'.

Another way to raise money for the BBKA from online shopping is with 'easyfundraising'.

Purchase personalised cards and e-cards from 'Making a Difference Cards' and support the BBKA.
