About us

Smoky Mountain Beekeepers Association was established in 2005  and is a group of folks dedicated to helping each other keep our honey bees healthy and productive. We are a resource for you, and for each other.

Since 2005 the SMBA has  continued to provide information to the community and assist beekeepers with the newest information available on Honey Bees and how to keep them.

  SMBA meets every 2nd Thursday at SSC Almond Center at 60 Almond School Rd, 5 miles west of Bryson City. 

​

SMBA has a Beginners Bee School in March every year to assist new beekeepers with starting the new experience. Also in January there is a preparation class were instruction is given on hive construction, when and how to order bees, and how to be ready when the bees arrive. Please check the calendar for all dates associated with classes and regular meetings.
