What's at the meetings?

 

Come for an educational meeting and networking opportunity with fellow local beekeepers. One of the best Gulf Coast Beekeepers Assoc member benefits are the educational meetings, where we discuss best management practices, what should be going on in your hive each month, special topics, demonstrations, Q&A along with what’s blooming and how to identify. Plus networking opportunities with fellow beekeepers who geek speak bees.

Collier Apiary Days 

Apiary Work Days are educational events, where members maintain the apiary as well as the club hives, which is a great way for new beekeepers to learn from more experienced members. Hive time is an invaluable learning tool for new beekeepers. 

This is available to all paid members and runs every 2 weeks during Bee season (March-Oct) and once a month during the off season (Nov-Feb).
