Yass
Yass and District Amateur Beekeepers (Yass Bees) was established in 2016 and has quickly grown to around 60 members with a range of beekeeping experience.
Yass Bees aims to meet once a month, either at the Club’s apiary for a field day, or at another venue depending on the weather and the topic for discussion.
Yass Bees has a dedicated apiary which was formally opened by fellow beekeeper, the then Governor of NSW, the Hon David Hurley. We currently have the following hive types at the apiary to offer members experience with a range of hives:
Standard Langstroth
Flow Hive
Paradise Hive
Warre Hive
Kenyan Top Bar
During the colder months when we can’t open the hives for inspection, we hold discussions and construction days where members assist in preparing hiveware for the coming season – assembling and wiring frames, repairing equipment etc.
So, if you're interested in getting involved, or if you have any questions, please feel free to email yass.membership@beekeepers.asn.au and visit our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/yassbeekeepers/
