Why Membership Matters?
Everyone who keeps one beehive or more in South Africa is bound to certain Codes, Rules and Regulations, some nationally, some state, and some are local Council by-laws. The MKBA continually works with all these bodies to ensure beekeeping will always remain available and viable for all – the hobbyist, part-time or commercial beekeeper.
Membership support is needed by all beekeepers. Finance through membership assists MKBA in protecting and improving beekeeping in Eastern Cape and, in these endeavours, assists in giving a united voice to Governments, stakeholders, the media and the general public .
There are a number of Membership levels to suit every beekeeper or enterprise, starting at 00.00 per year and Membership Applications can be completed online
Connections and support
Whether you’re a brand-new beekeeper, or an old hand wanting to get more involved in your industry, a beekeeping association is a great place to find resources, support, and connections with other beekeepers.
