Beekeeping memberships include cover for up to 3 colonies. For those with:
Please note, for insurance to be valid, all colonies owned by the beekeeper must be insured with BDI. BDI is valid from the 1st January of the year in which the subscription is paid to 31st December of that year, but BDI paid after 31 March only comes into force 40 days after the date of the treasurer's receipt. Full Beekeeping Members and Partner Members are automatically insured for BDI for 3 colonies each. To calculate the total colonies for extra BDI subtract 3 colonies for each Partner Member. N.B. Make allowance for increases during the season, including swarms or nucs as these count as individual colonies and must be insured accordingly to avoid invalidation of insurance.
