Growing our honeybee population is crucial and we are proud to provide education and classes for beginning, intermediate and advanced beekeepers.

We welcome everyone to our meetings at Millard Oakley Library on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm.

 
‘If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive’
Abraham Lincoln
‘The lovely flowers embarrass me; they make me regret I am not a bee’
Emily Dickinson
'Bees… by virtue of a certain geometrical forethought, knew that the hexagon is greater than the square and the triangle and will hold more honey for the same expenditure of material'
Pappus
“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't, they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.
Ray Bradbury
“A bee that makes honey is great, but a bee that makes other bees that make honey is extraordinary.”
