Thank you to everyone who joined the Ipswich and West Moreton Beekeepers Association at our recent field days to learn more about mechanical means of controlling varroa mite. We’ll have the course information available here soon so you too can catch up on the content.
If you’d like the opportunity to visit the club hives and become more confident with your beekeeping, become a member of Ipswich and West Moreton Beekeepers Association and join regular hands-on hive inspections.
Ipswich and West Moreton Beekeepers Association
Established in 1992, we have members ranging from novices to experienced beekeepers who have been working with bees for decades. We all share a passion for the wonderful and remarkable world of the honey bee.
New members and visitors are welcome.
The Association was incorporated under the Queensland Association Incorporation Act 1981 on the third of May 1994, Certificate number 1A13460. Ron Smith, Vice President 1997/1998, updated the Association’s rules during the period August 1997 to April 1998.
Our club continues to thrive with new members joining every month.
We aim to:
- Increase the knowledge of bees and bee culture.
- Improve the standard of beekeeping among beekeepers, and assist in the information of sub-branches and affiliation with other bodies.
- Assist in the study of subjects allied, and relevant to, apiculture.
- Help establish and encourage honey, pollen and flora projects.
- Foster intelligent observation and practical handling of bees.
- Give advice and assistance on bees.
- Arrange lectures, demonstrations, and field days, for the benefit of members.
- Assist members in obtaining suitable apiculture material.
- Seek out, and assist, people who are interested and qualified to carry out research work on bees.
