About Us
Organised 11 November 1974 to promote the common interest of beekeeping and the general welfare of the honey bee.
Our story
Fifty years of beekeeping in the Ozarks
The Beekeepers Association of the Ozarks is a non-profit organized November 11, 1974, and was formed to engage in activities promoting the common interest of beekeeping and the general welfare of the honey bee. Currently we have over 200 members that cover Greene and the surrounding counties.
Our main goal is to provide information, education, and service to the area. Some of the functions we offer are basic beekeeping courses which is designed to get a person started in beekeeping. We attend the local fairs and farming functions and provide a place where the general public can ask questions and get information.
Our members often volunteer in the public schools to do presentations for our children. We also provide swarm removal of honey bees to the public usually at no charge.
When we meet
We meet on the 4th Tuesday of every month. Q&A starts at 6:00 pm, with the meeting to follow. Other events are announced at meetings and on the website.
