BENEFITS OF JOINING A LOCAL BEEKEEPING CLUB
New beekeepers and prospective beekeepers are urged to join beekeeping clubs and organizations to learn more about the art of beekeeping. Even experienced beekeepers find themselves with questions and want to connect with other beekeepers in the area.
Locally, your State’s beekeeping associations and clubs are one of the best resources for you to tap into. Leveraging the knowledge of local beekeepers is essential to becoming a successful beekeeper in your area. Most beekeeping clubs have monthly meetings involving a speaker, from out of state or locally. The topics covered are widespread and include common mistakes in beekeeping, increasing your hives, swarm control & catching, making mead, and use of hive products. All of these topics can be found online, but to have an experienced person to talk to about it is invaluable.
