About the South Gippsland Beekeeping Club
South Gippsland Beekeepers (SGB) had its inaugural meeting on 21st July 2011 which attracted over 55 people on the night. As of June 2016, our club now has around 93 financial members with new comers expressing interest on a weekly basis. Formed as a division of the Gippsland Apiarists Association (GAA), we are now an independent club with our own incorporation and we are a not for profit, family orientated club with elected office holders.
Support and Encouragement: Fellow enthusiastic and supportive beekeepers are keen to share their beekeeping knowledge.
Equipment can be borrowed or hired as well as books from the library.
Experienced members can advise on what equipment to buy.
The club has some equipment for hire including an extractor, electric knife and safety equipment, available to members for a small fee.
About all other Gippsland Clubs:
All other clubs are small and enthusiastic, happy to help beginner beekeepers in their areas and also welcome larger beekeepers to provide mentors for new beekeepers. Some clubs experiment with different types of hives such as flow hives, long hives and top bar hives etc. Most clubs meet monthly and can enhance your journey into beekeeping.
