What it is

Cabarrus County Beekeepers Association (CCBA) is a first-party local beekeeping club and a chapter of the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association (NCSBA) whose official site (cabarrusbees.com) publishes monthly meeting details, membership dues, swarm help, beginner-course notices, and officer/event pages. Official Monthly Meeting copy states meetings are free and open to visitors, typically with a guest speaker, a hive and flower report, and a business portion. It is not a commercial hive-equipment manufacturer and not a university certificate pathway.

Who it’s for

Hobby and experienced beekeepers (and bee enthusiasts with or without hives) in Cabarrus County / Kannapolis–Concord, North Carolina who want fourth-Friday monthly meetings (third Friday in November–December), a named Bethel Wesleyan Church fellowship-hall venue, and first-party $8 individual or $10 family annual dues for 2026. Visitors are welcome without joining. Not a drop-in equipment warehouse and not Purdue’s queen-rearing short course.

Why it’s listed

This is a first-party Local club with a printed meeting cadence, a named Kannapolis venue address, annual dues dollar amounts on the official Membership page, and a dated 2026 next-meeting card — not a Facebook-only group and not a scraped directory card.

• Meeting schedule & venue (Monthly Meeting + home — checked 2026-09-24): Regular monthly meetings the 4th Friday of January–October, and typically the 3rd Friday in November and December, in the Fellowship Hall of Bethel Wesleyan Church, 4036 Old Salisbury-Concord Rd., Kannapolis, NC. Meetings are free of charge; visitors welcome even if they have never opened a hive. Sample next-meeting card on the check date: Friday, September 25th, 2026, 7:00 p.m. — topic Queen Events by Libby Mack, same Bethel Wesleyan fellowship hall. Home page also notes a 2027 beginner beekeeping course (see Bee School page).
