Kentucky has an ever-increasing number of local beekeeping associations, or bee clubs, in the various regions of Kentucky.  These associations are a great source of beekeeping information and assistance for Kentucky beekeepers.

The association publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, "Kentucky Bee Line",  and holds spring, summer and fall conferences in different locations around Kentucky.

Kentucky has its own State Apiarist.  His mission is to prevent and control diseases in Kentucky apiaries.

The Queen Breeding Project aims to provide the Kentucky Beekeepers with a "Kentucky" honeybee that  will over-winter well and perform to its optimum capacity.
