The Susquehanna Beekeepers Association of Maryland is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides support to beekeepers in Harford and Cecil County. Our main objectives include educating our members and the public about honey bees and beekeeping, serving as a valuable resource for experienced beekeepers, and assisting new beekeepers in learning effective beekeeping management techniques. Additionally, we strive to raise awareness about the importance of honey bees and actively promote the practice of beekeeping.

Member benefits: As a club we help our members by buying bulk purchases of different beekeeping products that are needed to feed bees, treat for diseases, as well as items used in harvesting honey. The club has honey harvesting equipment that can be borrowed by members. For more information see the membership page.

Young beekeepers grant program: if you are 14 to 18 years old, residing in the Harford or Cecil County area, and are interested in beekeeping, you are eligible to apply for the SBA Young Beekeeper Grant!
