Membership Benefits

The Long Island Beekeepers Club is one of the largest and oldest beekeeping organizations in Southern NY. Each year we catch and safely relocate countless swarms and deliver educational presentations to our community.  This is accomplished through the effort of our amazing volunteers, all of whom are members of the club.
