Across our historic county, beekeeping is more than a trade—it is a passion shared by thousands of members across our local associations. From the industrial heartlands to the heather-rich North York Moors, "The Yorkshire Beekeeper" is a generic description of who we are.
We celebrate every beekeeper's right to describe their origin and their craft. In the past, attempts have been made to claim the term as a private trade mark. However, under UK Law, terms that accurately describe the geographical origin and nature of a product should remain in the public domain. A beekeeper in Yorkshire is, by definition, a Yorkshire Beekeeper. We believe no single individual can claim exclusive ownership of this collective identity.
