...Bees, via pollination, are responsible for 15 to 30 percent of the food U.S. consumers eat. But in the last 50 years the domesticated honeybee population has declined by about 50 percent... ( National Geopraphic News)
Welcome to the Coastal Beekeeper's Association
Coastal Beekeepers Association was formed in January, 2010. It is a group of novice, experienced and commercial beekeepers and enthusiastics of all ages. Monthly get togethers are held for members to socialize and outside speakers discuss the how to's, why's and fun of working with honey bees.
Everyone is welcome to attend the group's meetings which take place at 10am on the third Sunday of each month at the Flagler Agricultural Museum, which is next to Princess Place Preserve in Palm Coast, FL. The meetings begin informally with coffee and light refreshments (brought by various members of the group) and then moves on to club business, specific topic presentation and discussion, followed by a raffle of bee related items, and the fun finale of visiting the bee hives at the Flagler Agricultural Museum and getting some hands on experience!
Schedule and Location
For first time attendees, the meetings take place in the Caldwell Dairy Barn. Parking is next to the barn so just drive around to the back for the closest spot! We look forward to meeting you, please come out and introduce yourself to the group. We have new attendees each month!
We meet on the third Sunday of every month at the Florida Agricultural Museum located at:

Pollen Season.
