Reach Out to Your Beekeeping Experts
The Townsville & District Beekeepers Association Inc is THE bee club for North Queensland. We cater to all beekeepers, from backyarders with a single hive to native bee enthusiasts to semi-commercial operators with over 150 hives.

Need a hand? We’re just a message away.
Why not catch us at a Club Meeting?
We meet on the second Sunday of the month, rotating around members’ houses or other venues. Whenever possible we open a hive as part of the meeting. This is a good time to learn, pick up helpful hints and discuss current bee issues.
