At the Plymouth County Beekeepers Association, we provide meany benefits to our community to support a successful apiary. Whether you are a neighbor looking for help with a honeybee swarm or a member looking to harvest your first crop of honey, we offer the following resources:

Found a Swarm? (Public Assistance)

If you have encountered a swarm of honeybees on your property, please visit our Swarm Retrieval & Removal Page immediately. Our experienced members provide professional retrieval services to ensure the bees are relocated safely to a managed apiary while protecting your home and property.

Member Extraction Equipment & Youth Gear

For our active members, we offer a variety of programs designed to assist with the practical challenges of beekeeping. To help manage the costs of specialized gear, our Equipment Loan Program provides members with access to honey extractors. We are also committed to engaging the next generation of beekeepers, while a bee suit is a must-have for safety.  Our Bee Suits for Kids program helps ensure young explorers can stay safe in the bee yard without the high upfront cost.

Bees & Glassware

PCBA facilitates the acquisition of high-quality bee packages and glassware supplies through our collective buying power. Each spring, we coordinate bulk bee package orders, allowing members to source healthy colonies through a trusted network. Additionally, our glassware program helps reduce individual costs by passing the savings of bulk purchasing directly onto our members.
