men and bees

Hopes and Ability to react

We can in the short run ( 4 years) have set up enough urban apiaries to support in the form of livestock, the beekeepers of the rural circles in case of pits on the zones of butinage of their bees.

In an urban context

a little rural life

In the beekeeping nothing is congealed, to move an apiary is easy matter.
Not of infrastruture kick out.

A quality article explains with rigour, the scale of the problem which bees meet.

An article from
Dominique Guillet

An article from Jean paul Faucon
Bees find refuge in city.

Let us take advantage completely of the comfort which the association can offer:

• An maintenance of hives in some facilitates the management of time dedicated to the family, to the work and to the beekeeping.
• not to jam at the time of the summer holidays to make the harvest.
• to begin the beekeeping with several hives. I disadvise the fact of starting with a single hive: in case of bad manipulation, it is difficult to learn from it, Or to catch up the blow.
• The comfort to feel accompanied: in certain operations, it happens that bees get angry, and it is not still possible to say stop, nor to plant its small world there! The beekeeping is a school of self-control: I found feelings close to those lived during situations of distress in mountain there, either when ' exhausted on a sailboat taken in the storm, the sailor distinguishes within reach vote the friendly shelter of the port (bearing) which he can enter only within some hours......
• fact to maintain an apiary in common allows, even by being novice, to have a working quality and a follow-up who)exceed the average.
• The possibility of being sure of your desire of beekeeping before creating your own apiary. I met people who in the third opening of hive said to me: finally not, it is not my thing.
• Nothing prevents you from possessing a personal apiary: the association can repair you if you need livestock, of remèrer an orphan hive. It is one of its first vocations!
• The integration to a group outside the social and occupational considerations, opens opportunities.
• Financially speaking, the association proposes you a hobby with minimum prices

Well, there I really had the impression to make you the article, me finally!

Price Rates membership and annual contribution

The association suggests you subscribing with a only entrance fee (not annual, definitive)

its amount is 5 euro.

Annually the contribution of the members is of :

The association hopes for the commitment of the women, because if they possess sometimes fewer physical strengths, they have a tenacity in their objectives, favorable to the management of an apiary.
