The Irish beekeeping Association Clg is a new group representing beekeepers in Ireland. It is a breakaway group from the Federation of Irish Beekeepers Association (FIBKA)
They appear to have come a long way in a short time. One of the last posts I read from FIBKA is that people who are not members of an Association affiliated to FIBKA cannot receive An Beachaire the Irish beekeeping magazine or attend their Annual beekeeping course in Gormanstown Ireland this may effect some of you beekeepers in either Scotland, England or Wales.
I have to be honest here and admit that I have affiliated to the new organisation IBA Clg along with our local beekeeping group. So it will be interesting times ahead for Irish Beekeeping.
