Welcome to the South Carolina State Beekeepers Association’s website. 

Our mission is to educate  beekeepers in our state about all aspects of the honeybee and it’s care. 

 

We have two meetings a year, a Spring meeting and a Summer meeting.

 

The summer meeting of the South Carolina Beekeepers will be held at Clemson University, Clemson, SC on 16-18 July 2009.  Registration will begin on Thursday, 16 July at 12:00 noon in the Poole Agricultural Center Lobby.

 Our 2009 joint spring meeting with the North Carolina State Beekeepers in Rock Hill was a great success with 530 beekeepers registered, which marks this meeting as the largest attended beekeepers meeting ever held in South Carolina. Many thanks to the York County Beekeepers for locally hosting this meeting along with assistance from the Lancaster County Beekeepers.

 

Also, thanks to Rachel Rowe, Department of Entomology, Soils, and Plant Sciences for her support in processing meeting registration packets.
