‘The Fifeshire Beekeepers’ Association’ was founded on 22 July 1916, its President an aptly named William Honeyman Esq. J.P. of Craigmore, Cupar. Now usually known as ‘Fife Beekeepers’ Association’ it has worked for over ninety years to support beekeepers and promote apiculture. It celebrated its ninetieth anniversary by raising enough money to provide ninety-seven hives in Africa, the generosity of members and the public enabling the target of ninety to be not only met but exceeded.
Members meet once a month from October to April inclusive, in the Dairsie Village Hall at the West end of the village opposite the Primary School, and at various members’ apiaries throughout the summer.
For the last few years, together with Dunfermline Association it has run classes for complete beginners to beekeeping, and these have led to a steady increase in the membership numbers: in 2007 there were 78 members in all, this making it one of Scotland’s larger beekeeping associatiPhone:
