We need your voice, your ideas, and your presence to help shape the upcoming year for our local bee community.
This is our biggest night of the year, and we are strongly encouraging all members to attend and get involved. We will be taking a look back at the past year to celebrate everything we've accomplished together as an association. Most importantly, it’s a brilliant chance to catch up with everyone, share stories, and have a bit of craic!

• The Prize: 20 Pre-Assembled Supers are up for grabs
• Eligibility: Every single attending member gets one entry into the draw.

Mark your calendars, set your reminders, and let's get ready for a fantastic evening. Stay tuned for the venue announcement coming very soon!

Class of 2026

Meet the Class of 2026

Our 2026 New-Bees! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on the course - it's been a pleasure getting to know you over the six week course. We hope we've sparked a lasting interest in beekeeping and look forward to seeing many of you in the apiary soon!

We're also incredibly grateful for our DDBKA members who helped deliver the course, sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm each week. Special thanks to John Martin and the team at NWRC - the top notch location and facilities made it possible to offer such a successful and enjoyable experience. Thank you to the Mayor for coming along and presenting our students with their certificates. Great night :)
