About the KBA

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!

Our objectives are to:

• Further the advancement of apiculture

• Promote legislation to protect and assist beekeeping as an industry and hobby

• Inform members about honeybees and beekeeping

• Provide a forum for training in the art of beekeeping, the production of honey and other hive products

• Inform the public about the importance and contribution of honeybees, to the welfare of all people

• Encourage others to become members of the KBA
