MYTH BUSTED
NOT SO MAD HONEY
There’s no such thing as “mad honey” in Kintyre. Our rhododendrons don’t produce dangerous nectar, our bees have plenty of forage choice, and our honey is recognised as perfectly safe. The only mad thing about it, is how good it tastes.
A little about us
We aim to promote and support beekeeping in Kintyre and Mid-Argyll by providing encouragement, advice and education to beekeepers and those thinking about it.
We have regular meetings, usually the third Thursday of every month. They are held at Campbeltown Picture House 7pm. These are open to members and non-members, with non-members (Guests) paying £3. You can basically ask any questions you want, and you’ll receive tons of advice. We also have the forum where you can register free and ask beekeeping questions there and that’s not all, we offer a free beekeeping course so you can quickly check if it’s right for you.
