Scope and content
A series of correspondence and related material, 1969-1972, between Welsh Beekeepers' Association officials/members and the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, mainly relating to the Welsh Beekeepers' Association's participation in the annual Royal Welsh Agricultural Show held in the village of Llanelwedd, Radnorshire. Other correspondents include the Bee Research Association (later the International Bee Research Association). A Treasurer's report dated 12 September 1970 has been removed and placed under Accounts and expenditure within this archive. Minutes of a Welsh Beekeepers' Association Sub-committee meeting held 12 September 1970 have been left in place due to their relevance to a disputed matter taking place around that date.

Note
Established in 1904, the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society provides support for business, social welfare and education within rural communities as well as the organisation and staging of the Smallholding and Countryside Festival, the Royal Welsh Show and the Winter Fair.

Note
The Bee Research Association (BRA) was established in 1949 in order to provide information on bee science and beekeeping, adding 'International' to its title in 1976 to reflect the organisation's worldwide status and influence. It is a registered charity managed by an international council of trustees and run by a small team (see also, for example: https://ibra.org.uk/)
