Member Benefits

The Kentuckiana Beekeepers Association (KBA) is a public, volunteer-led association dedicated to beekeeping in Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana since 1976. Our mission is to teach and support honey bees in our community mainly thru backyard hobbyist beekeeping. We host monthly education events at the Louisville Nature Center (3745 Illinois Ave, Louisville, KY 40213) and field days during the warm season where we explore bee hives at our members’ apiaries. We also assist the public with swarm removals, speaking events and honey bee equipment for members. Anyone interested in beekeeping is welcome to become a member and join us at our next event. We can't wait to see you!
