The Chatham County Beekeepers’ Association has been inspiring and educating beekeepers since 1976.
We also promote beekeeping to the general public to raise awareness of the importance of bees to our local food system and our communities.
We hope you enjoy our website – please visit often as it grows. We invite you to attend one of our meetings or events. We welcome beekeepers of all levels of experience as well as folks interested in starting a hive or two.

Kim Wood will present the plastic hives and components as an alternative to traditional wooden-ware. The over-engineered hives were designed by beekeepers for beekeepers. Technosetbee offers some very innovative solutions for queen rearing. See more at http://www.honestbeehives.com/.
