Who We Are

The Norfolk County Beekeepers Association (NCBA) is dedicated to apiculture and the education of the art & science of beekeeping among beekeepers, agriculture, and the general public. We are a non-profit organization founded in Walpole, Massachusetts. We invite you to visit us or attend an event. Our members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the organization, beekeeping, and how you may join. Our mission is to further promote the interests of our organization and our members to the community. We strive to make a difference by educating the public, expanding awareness, and promoting our club as a whole. We also welcome members from areas outside Norfolk County, and as well, those beyond Massachusetts.

When We Meet

Our monthly meetings are usually held the first Monday of the month (Except for July and August as there are no meetings during the summer). The monthly meetings are normally held at the Norfolk County Agricultural School, 400 Main Street, Walpole, MA 02081. But during these COVID times, our meetings are currently being held via ZOOM. Our meetings start at 7:30 PM and normally last until 9:00 pm. Members will be notified via email with the Zoom instructions. If you are not a member and are interested in attending our meetings, please contact the president at norfolkbees.org and you will be added to the list. If you are a visitor, please introduce yourself at the beginning of the ZOOM meeting.
