Promoting responsible beekeeping in the Bega Valley. For swarms [email protected]
Bega Valley Bee Club meets on the second Thursday day of each month, at 6.30-8.30, Behind the Seventh Day Adventist Church. 31 Upper Street Bega
. Regardless of whether you already have working hives or are simply considering becoming a beekeeper, we welcome new members, amateur and professional alike. The club can assist new beekeepers with the acquisition of gear, with advice on establishing your first hive and with that all-important mentoring that will help you through those first exciting months as a beekeeper. For more information about the club email [email protected] or send the moderator a personal message via this page.
At the club apiary we have adopted a multi modal approach to varroa control that includes both chemical and mechanical methods. In this video we see the use of a queen pipe to trap the queen bee and then she is placed into a queen cage to restrict her laying and reducing the varroa mite load of the hive.
Our club apiary days happen on the Saturday following our Thursday evening meeting. All members are welcome. Come along and learn something new, meet other beekeepers and participate in our community of practice 🐝🐝🐝
See you at the club apiary tomorrow 15 August at 10:00am to conduct our Spring inspections

The club celebrated International Bee Day at our club meeting in May. Members were asked to bake a honey-inspired treat to share, and the response was nothing short of amazing. See the photos below. We were overwhelmed with the response, a true testament to the power of community.
Club member Bena baked baklava that won the people’s choice prize, a well-deserved recognition of her talent. A $50 credit is waiting for Bena to spend at our club shop, a wonderful reward for her efforts.
A total of $80.00 was collected, and it brings our club donations to The Wheen Foundation to a remarkable $280.00, a true demonstration of our collective generosity. 🐝
