The Orange Blossom Beekeepers Association

The Orange Blossom Beekeepers Association (OBBA) is a collective of backyard, side-liner, and commercial beekeepers in Central Florida. The club strives to mentor novices and to serve as a resource for experienced beekeepers.

OBBA seeks to educate the public about the importance of bees and beekeeping.

Throughout the year, OBBA conducts interactive workshops in its apiary and brings in expert speakers for monthly club meetings. OBBA attends and hosts educational events throughout Central Florida.
