The Pennsylvania Backyard Beekeepers Association (PBBA) was formed by a small group of beekeepers who realized the need for an association with the desire to be active, creative, supportive, social, inventive, and dynamic in the changing world of beekeeping. One that supports a wide range of beekeeping styles, ideologies, and experiences. And one that could mold itself into an effective association moving forward with unlimited capabilities. Two key components of this concept was registering as a nonprofit, and starting an association from scratch with no barriers or limitations. With that concept, Pennsylvania Apiculture Inc., (PennApic) was formed. We are proud and excited to present a state -wide nonprofit association able to help the bee industry in a broad range of support programs while also catering to the needs of backyard beekeepers, which make up the membership of the PBBA. We ask for your support and the chance to show you what we are all about.
The Pennsylvania Backyard Beekeepers Association (PBBA) is a state -wide association administered under the nonprofit corporation status of Pennsylvania Apiculture Inc., a 501 ( c) filed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. PennApic is also the administrator for the National Honey Bee Day program.
