The honeybee (Apis mellifera) was officially designated as New Jersey’s state insect in 1974, thanks to the efforts of students from the Sunnybrae School in Hamilton Township, NJ. This recognition is well-deserved, as honeybees play an essential role in New Jersey’s agriculture. Beyond producing delicious local raw honey and other hive products such as wax, pollen, and propolis, honeybees are crucial for pollinating many of the state’s key crops, including tomatoes, blueberries, cranberries, cantaloupes, watermelons, cucumbers, and peppers.

New Jersey is home to thousands of beekeepers, many of whom are members of the New Jersey Beekeepers Association (NJBA). This organization provides beekeepers with opportunities to learn the craft of backyard beekeeping while also connecting with others across the state.

The NJBA is a nonprofit, 501(c)(5) agricultural organization dedicated to promoting and supporting all aspects of beekeeping in New Jersey. Acting as the collective voice for both hobbyist and commercial beekeepers, the NJBA has played a pivotal role in shaping legislation that aligns with good beekeeping management practices and land use policies, ensuring a sustainable future for beekeeping in the Garden State.
