Membership of the Wellington Beekeepers Association runs from June to May of the following year. Subscriptions were due at the AGM, held in July each year.

Membership of the Beekeepers Association provides regular opportunities for learning about all aspects of bees through meeting and discussion with other enthusiastic beekeepers. It doesn't matter whether you are a beginner or have years of experience - there are plenty of opportunities to learn from and to help others with similar interests.

The club produces a monthly newsletter with articles of interest and notices of relevance to members. There is also a comprehensive web site (www.beehive.org.nz) containing a significant wealth of material, including articles and information from old newsletters.

The Association has a very active disease detection and prevention programme in the greater Wellington region. Education of club members to recognise disease and to develop management practices that will prevent hives succumbing to diseases likely to be present is a key object. In addition, the club provides support for beekeepers who have hives destroyed following detection of AFB disease.
