Welcome to Tidewater Beekeepers Association

We are committed to supporting the beekeeping community in the Tidewater region by promoting the health and sustainability of honey bees and providing valuable resources and educational opportunities for beekeepers of all levels of experience.

Our Meetings and Workshops:

  • Monthly Meetings: Held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM-9:00 PM, these meetings feature expert speakers, educational programs, and opportunities to connect with other members of the beekeeping community.

  • Bee Yard Trainings: Practical, hands-on workshops are offered on the third Saturday of each month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. These trainings focus on seasonal hive management techniques and skill-building for beekeepers.

Whether you are just beginning your journey in beekeeping or have years of experience, Tidewater Beekeepers Association is here to support your growth and success. Join us as we work together to promote healthy hives and a thriving beekeeping community.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our events!
