Welcome to the ECBKA

East Carmarthen Beekeepers Association welcomes all who may be interested in bees.  We run beginners courses, give advice and try to educate the public about bees.

We have our own training apiary (bee farm) to provide hands on experience for novice and expert alike.

Beekeepers come in all shapes and sizes, young and old can all become involved in caring for bees.  There can be few more rewarding hobbies than learning to help bees to thrive in our modern world.
