Need a honey bee swarm removed, want to find where to purchase local honey, or have a question about beekeeping in your area, then please contact the county coordinator for your area.

Although not all members desire to be county coordinators, we have added the counties that we currently have members. If you need assistance, we may still may be able help if no coordinator for your county is listed, by contacting the members through the association. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any assistance.

If you are contacting a county coordinator concerning honey bee removal, please see the bee indentification information on the "Swarm & BEE ID" page of this website.

Looking to start beekeeping?

The county coordinators are the place to start. They can assist with information concerning the many programs of the Pennsylvania Backyard Beekeepers Association. Having local contacts and beekeepers to help when assistance is needed, is one of the best benefits we offer through our association. Please do not hesitate to contact the county coordinators, or the officers of the PBBA. We also have an "Open Apiaries" program which puts you in contact with beekeepers willing to take you on a tour of their bee yard. Assisting new beekeepers is a priority with the PBBA. We are happy to help in any way possible.
