The Nashville Area Beekeepers Association is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Tennessee
Beekeepers Association.
The NABA is pleased to welcome many new members this year. By encouraging new people to
become beekeepers, we hope to insure the success of honeybees in their ongoing battle against parasitic mites, other pests and
diseases. Anyone can be a beekeeper and NABA members are dedicated to helping.
