The CCBA is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania and is a non-profit beekeeping club with membership open to the public. We have more than 250 members, who share a common interest in honey bees and beekeeping. Many of our members keep bees as a hobby, but some of our members are involved in beekeeping as a sideline or main business.

Assist members in the art and science of beekeeping, including sharing effective techniques, coping with problems and challenges, and supporting each other in our efforts.

Promulgate information to the public about the valuable role of honey bees in nature and agriculture.

Encourage more people to become involved in beekeeping.

This site is intended to be an introduction to beekeeping for interested individuals, as well as an ongoing resource for experienced beekeepers. Read about the Amazing Honey Bee and the Joys of Beekeeping. Be sure to see the photographs of hives and honey bees. Come to our Monthly Meetings and our Annual Seminar, where you can learn more and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow beekeepers. Join the CCBA and receive our informative Newsletter on a regular basis.

Please look carefully at the tabs on the left side of this page. If you want to start beekeeping, do some reading and research, come to one of our meetings and attend a seminar or class. If you have a swarm of bees, or think bees are in the walls of your home, please scroll through our Help with Swarms information for those who can help with these situations.
