Upcoming Events

Saturday, May 9th – Hive Inspection – Signs of Strong Colony Buildup– Please join BYBA President and Cornell Master Beekeeper, Charles O’Donnell as he walks us through a colony inspection.

As a new beekeeper, you know you are supposed to do inspections but what are you looking for?  Charles will do an inspection and talk about what you might be seeing and what to look out for during this time of colony expansion.  

Please remember to bring your protective gear as we will be doing an inspection with live bees.

Tuesday, May 19th – New Bee Fundamentals/Special Topics Join us for this monthly zoom Q & A session with our panel of experienced beekeepers!  The first hour will focus on topics geared towards newer beekeepers while the second hour focuses on seasonal topics for the advancing beekeeper.  Everyone, regardless of experience, is welcome at both sessions.

 

About Us
The mission of BYBA is to provide our membership with a forum for sharing knowledge and mutual interests in beekeeping, and to educate and promote the benefits of beekeeping to the public.

Welcome to the Back Yard Beekeepers Association. With over 400 members, our association has grown to become one of the Nation’s largest regional clubs for beekeeping hobbyists. Some of our members are just getting started as beekeepers, and some have enjoyed this hobby for years. All share an interest in the wonderful and remarkable world of the honey bee.

The purpose of the BYBA is to provide our membership with interesting and practical information about honey bees and the “how-to’s” of beekeeping. The club also provides the general public with educational programs about honey bees and the benefits of bees and beekeeping in our communities.
The BYBA is a 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization.

Our general membership meetings are held on the last Tuesday of most months at 7:30 PM at the Norfield Church in Weston, CT.
Please see our Calendar of Events for details.
