SWINDON'S beekeepers are looking for interesting bee stories to start an archive.
The beekeepers have been publishing a quarterly magazine, Honey Bee Times, since the 1939-45 war and now want to establish an archive of material relating to beekeeping in the local area.
Joy Simpson, a member of the Swindon and District Beekeepers' Association, said: "We want to find photographs or records of events, or even a story about somebody's grandfather keeping bees.
"We hope to build up an archive of anecdotes."
The association meets monthly at the Haydon Wick leisure centre.
Mrs Simpson said: "Anybody who is starting to keep bees is welcome to our meetings.
"We can help to get them started."
The next meeting will be held on February 24 at 7.30pm.
