Lincoln Bee Keepers are organising the largest Bee Auction in the United Kingdom, as recognised by the esteemed British Bee Keepers monthly magazine (BBKA News).
Set to take place on March 23, 2024, at the Lincolnshire Showground, this event marks the 33rd anniversary of Lincoln Bee Keepers’ dedication to promoting beekeeping excellence and environmental stewardship.
With anticipation building, hundreds of attendees are expected to converge upon the Lincolnshire Showground, demonstrating the widespread interest and support for beekeeping initiatives. This year’s event promises to be a memorable occasion, with attendees treated to a captivating showcase of live bee hives alongside the excitement of the auction itself.
In alignment with their longstanding commitment to charitable giving, the Lincoln Bee Keepers’ Bee Auction is organised entirely in the name of charity. Proceeds from the auction will go towards supporting various charitable causes, underscoring Lincoln Bee Keepers’ dedication to making a positive impact within the community.
Furthermore, the significance of the Lincoln Bee Keepers’ Bee Auction extends beyond the realm of beekeeping, as bees are designated as livestock by DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs). This designation positions the event as the largest livestock auction in the UK, highlighting its importance within the agricultural sector and beyond.
Graham Duff, the visionary behind this esteemed event, remarked: “As we celebrate our 33rd year of hosting the largest Bee Auction in the UK, we are honoured by the recognition from BBKA News. This event not only showcases the beauty and importance of beekeeping but also serves as a platform for us to give back to the community through charitable endeavours.”
