Welcome to
The Killinchy Beekeepers Association
We are an Association of Beekeepers in the Killinchy District and surrounding area of County Down in Northern Ireland.
Our aim is to promote the craft of beekeeping by providing the education necessary to maintain happy healthy colonies of honey bees and fellowship among beekeepers.
We usually meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month, providing an informative and entertaining programme of talks and events throughout the year.
If you are not a beekeeper yet, we hope this site will help you become better informed about bees and beekeeping and be impressed and amazed (like the rest of us) by all that beekeeping entails.
Please feel free to contact us for any enquiries you may have.
Our Apiary Bee shed was designed, built and installed for us by
WEDNESDAY 25TH NOVEMBER
NEXT MEETING:
First Presbyterian Church Halls, 65 High St., Comber, Down, BT23 5HL
We’re delighted to have Jonathan Getty to share his experience and insights into the NIHBS Queen Rearing Groups Scheme and the recent genetic testing carried out by NIHBS in collaboration with Professor Grace McCormack at the University of Galway.
Afterwards, we’ll open the floor for a lively general beekeeping question-and-answer session. So bring along your puzzling hive mysteries and those “why did my bees do that?” moments - it’s a wonderful opportunity to tap into Jonathan’s wealth of practical knowledge!
Hope to see you there!
