Our mission is to promote and further the craft of beekeeping across the Connemara region through the conservation of the native Irish dark bee: Apis Millifera Mellifera.
We endeavour to achieve this through the following main objectives:-
To promote the interests of the beekeeping fraternity for the mutual benefit of all;
Promoting and advancing the science of Apiculture;
Stimulating and assisting in the establishment and maintenance of educational and training in all aspects of apiculture;
To promote the preservation of bees in the environment and to educate and encourage members of the Public to be consciously aware of the benefits of having a sound and healthy bee population in both urban and rural areas;
To hold regular meetings, Field Days and Field Trips for its members to educate, inform and stimulate discussions on issues of interest and importance to the practice and science of Apiculture;
To promote intellectual and informative debate within the apicultural sector of Ireland by the organisation of Conferences, Seminars and Workshops for the wider beekeeping fraternity and general public.
