About the Central Coast Branch

The Central Coast Branch of the ABA meets on the third Tuesday of the month at Sohier Park, Ourimbah at 7.30. We do not have a meeting in January or July. New members are always welcome. We are a small but enthusiastic group of amateur apiarists who are happy to help new beekeepers.

There is a wealth of knowledge available to all and the club has extractors and knives which can also be shared with members. Members are available to collect swarms as well as give presentations.

We try to have a presentation of interest at each meeting.

Publicly, we can be seen at the Gosford Show and Mt.Penang Flora Festival each year, where we sell club and members honey as well as all products bee related - wax , polishes, and candles.

During the Gosford Show we hold a competition for honey, wax, wax products and mead. All beekeepers as well as local schools with agricultral sections are invited to compete. There is a small prize money given. The enjoyment is more for the show of apiary diversity and time to meet and greet fellow beekeepers.

If you are interested in beekeeping why not come to a meeting.
