Since our founding in the early 1980's, the Tara Beekeepers Association fosters opportunities that help build skills, appreciation and understanding of the fundamentals associated with beekeeping.

Like the honeybees, we know there is great value in harnessing the collective wisdom and skills of our members. We aim to cultivate the social aspects of beekeeping and invite you to share in that with us.

Beekeeper of the Year

We annually present a Beekeeper of the Year award to individuals who support our club, serve others, advocate for beekeeping, and go the extra mile to make beekeeping accessible to all.
