<\/a>Two associations with which RBKA is closely linked are the British Beekeepers Association [BBKA]<\/a> and the Yorkshire Beekeepers Association [YBKA]<\/a>. More information on these groups and their roles in regional and national beekeeping may be found on their websites.<\/p>\nThe National Bee Unit site, BeeBase<\/a><\/em>, has a great deal of information on bees and beekeeping, as well as a number of useful resources and surveys which can be downloaded and\/or accessed online.<\/p>\n
RBKA Registered members also benefit from membership of BDI<\/a> which gives insurance cover against losses due to notifiable bee diseases.<\/p>\n
