The Gold Coast Amateur Beekeepers Society Inc.
The Gold Coast Amateur Beekeepers Society Inc. (GCABS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the hobby and practice of recreational beekeeping in the Gold Coast region, Queensland, Australia. Established on September 20, 1979, the society originated from a meeting of nine people following an Adult Education course at the Gold Coast College of TAFE. The course was conducted by John Rosser, who later became the patron of the society[1].
History and Purpose
The society was founded to support beekeepers by providing information, assistance, and education related to the keeping of bees. Its main aim is to foster beekeeping as a recreational hobby and to support both novice and experienced beekeepers through training, shared knowledge, and community engagement[1].
Activities and Programs
GCABS organizes monthly meetings on the third Sunday of each month, starting at 10 a.m. These meetings combine theoretical discussions, social interaction, and practical hands-on activities such as hive inspections, honey extraction, and hive maintenance. The society also publishes a monthly newsletter titled The Buzz to keep members informed[1].
The society hosts a bi-annual Open Day and an interclub honey competition, participates regularly in agricultural shows, and provides coordinated mentoring programs for members. Equipment necessary for beekeeping is available for hire at competitive rates to members. Additional member benefits include access to advice, library resources, and funding opportunities for further training and education[1][3].
Training and Education
GCABS emphasizes education through short-term courses, workshops, and practical training sessions. These include introductory courses, varroa mite management workshops, and other specialized classes aimed at improving beekeeping skills and awareness. The society offers friendly, inclusive, and supportive training environments for both beginners and advanced beekeepers[3][5].
Community Role
As the longest-standing beekeeping club in the Gold Coast area, GCABS plays an important role in maintaining and advancing beekeeping knowledge and practice. The council of the City of Gold Coast recognizes the society as a key association for residents who keep honeybees, supporting compliance with local regulations[2].
Summary
The Gold Coast Amateur Beekeepers Society Inc. is a well-established and active community organization committed to promoting the art and science of beekeeping. Through education, mentorship, social events, and practical support, it nurtures a vibrant and knowledgeable network of hobbyist beekeepers in the Gold Coast region.
