The Native Irish Honey Bee Society (NIHBS) was established in November 2012 by a group of beekeepers who wished to support the various strains of the native Irish honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) throughout the country. It is a cross-border organisation, open to all, that consists of members and representatives from all corners of the island of Ireland.

We are proud members of NIHBS and have really enjoyed the information we have learned from the society and the contacts we have made as well. Recently NIHBS produced a wonderful book about our native honeybee that we are very much enjoying reading. The attention to detail and had work gone into the book is very impressive. Well done to all involved!
