Beekeeping Associations
A curated international list of beekeepers blogs, forums, and independent websites, organized by country, offering practical experience, discussion, and regional perspectives on beekeeping.
A comprehensive directory of United States beekeeping associations at the national, regional, and state levels, along with major beekeeping suppliers serving the U.S. apiculture community.
While the primary purpose of beekeepers’ associations is for the education and support of the beekeepers themselves, they can be a great resource for honey lovers. Generally speaking, beekeepers are gregarious and friendly. They love to talk about their work (or hobby), and of course they would be glad to sell their wares. And while some are focused on wholesale quantities, many are happy to sell a jar or two. An association is a great place to get contact information and learn a bit about the honey producers and the local environment. Look for news of events and fairs where beekeepers may be selling their wares. Ask about farmer’s markets and local distributors. Of course if you are interested in learning the art and science of beekeeping, this is a perfect place to start. Here is a list of beekeeper and honey producer associations by state:
