Welcome to the Norwegian Beekeepers Association, the NBA.
The NBA was founded in 1884 as the professional organisation for beekeepers in Norway.
The Norwegian Beekeepers Association works for better terms for the Norwegian beekeepers. One important issue is an active breeding program for the Nordic black bee and Carnica, the two most common breeds in Norway. The NBA also supports the Buckfast breeder club. Other important issues are an active disease program, a recruitment program, information work about organic beekeeping and working with other agricultural organizations to achieve better terms for beekeeping in Norway.
The organisation is constructed like a hierarki, with 115 local associations, 15 county associations and 1 national association. The NBA is ruled by the annual meeting where representatives from the local associations come to vote on different matters. The annual meeting also chooses members of the board. The NBA has approximately 2700 members, with 60 000 hives.
