We are one of the oldest local Beekeeping Associations in Northern Ireland and we are affilliated to the Ulster Beekeeping Association.
 
We are managed by an elected committee in accordance with our Constitution. Currently we have over 130 active members and continue to grow.
 
The role of our Association is to serve our local community with support and education to help us become better and responsible beekeepers.
 
Activities include beekeeping, education and training courses, mentoring and advice, demonstrations and apiary meetings. We hold an informative, stimulating and entertaining programme of monthly events and presentations.
 
Meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday of each month in 1st Comber Presbyterian Church Halls, High St, BT23 5HL, Comber, Co Down

Throughout the summer months we run an education and Queen rearing programme at our Downpatrick Apiary site. This Apiary is also a Conservation Area for the Native Irish Honeybee.
 
To support our programme, funds are raised through our membership and various other events held throughout

the year.
