Purpose

The Association's purpose  is to promote beekeeping, and to encourage all those interested in the art and science of beekeeping.

The SBA exists to represent its members' views and interests. It provides a range of services to its members, including an education scheme, an insurance and compensation scheme, monthly magazine, and practical advice on all aspects of beekeeping.

Running the Association

There is an Executive Committee, which is responsible for administering and running the affairs of the association day-to-day.The executive committee is supported by a number of standing committees and office bearers. All are volunteers, who give their time freely to the association. The Executive Committee meets 5 - 6 times throughout the year.

Further pages within this section of the site contain details of the executive committee membership, and how to contact all the volunteers who are involved with running the SBA and its Local Area Associations throughout the Scottish mainland and islands.
