The Society provides access to affordable public and product liability insurance for member’s personal beekeeping practices.

If you are selling honey or collecting swarms it is advisable to have adequate insurance. Insurance cover runs for 12 months from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023 and must be purchased by the end of July 2022

Coverage is dependant on the insured person being a current financial member of the BSSA at the time of application and of any claim.

THIS INSURANCE IS NOT INTENDED TO COVER MEMBER’S COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES.

The 2022/2023 certificate of insurance is available to download here. You will need to be logged in and a member to view this page. 

Any members who wish to apply for insurance must complete the application and pay, in accordance with their number of hives, by 31 July 22. Negotiation with the underwriter and establishment of the policy will be completed in August and the insured period will be from 1 Sep 2022 until 31 August 2023.

Our preference is that members use the portal and pay online for insurance. If that is not possible, you can download and print the PDF linked here and bring it to the June or July meeting with your payment. 

INSURANCE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE THIS YEAR.
