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 and How 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). All of our monthly meetings will be zoom/hybrid except for September, December and June which will be in-person at the Norfolk County Agricultural School, 400 Main Street, Walpole, MA 02081. You are invited to attend any of our meetings to see what our club is all about. If you are a visitor, please introduce yourself to one of the members running the meeting. They are usually the officers of the club. Please check our most recent Newsletter on our homepage for updates and changes to these meetings.
