IWBKA Annual Beekeeping Auction 2026

The Annual Auction will take place at the Teaching Apiary at Quarr Abbey, PO33 4ES on Saturday, 11th April 2026

No bees will be sold at the auction - equipment and beekeeping items only.

If you are taking equipment to be auctioned, please arrive at the Teaching Apiary at Quarr (W3W hill.reduce.useful) from 9:00-11:00 in order to drop them off and get everything ready for the auction. 

Viewings will start at 12:00

The auction itself starts at 13:00. 

We hope you can come along to support the event. Often there is useful beekeeping equipment on auction and, even if you don’t plan to buy anything, it’s a great opportunity to meet and chat. 

Some lots will have reserves, most don’t and items unsold at the end of the auction could still be negotiated with the seller.

This year we can accept card payments and BACS is still available if you wish to use this method.
