Abstract
This two part study, the second part is to be published in Bee World 77(1), traces the evolution of the British Beekeepers' Association (BBKA) from a private London based club to a national body. Even as late as the beginning of World War II the BBKA was still unable to escape its ‘club’ roots although a range of specialist bodies had grown up alongside the BBKA to serve special interests. Part 2 of this study traces the effect of the war and the repercussions of that critical afternoon, 2 June 1943, when the redoubtable Herrod-Hempsall brothers handed over their control of the BBKA.The evolution of the BBKA into a truly representative body is followed against the problems arising from the war. Over the next 50 years a major public apicultural education system is created and then dismantled. The beekeeper infighting dies away after the ‘1960’ constitution makes the national association a representative body.
