ANYONE INTERESTED IN HONEY BEES AND BEEKEEPING IS WELCOME!

Meetings include programs on specific beekeeping topics, lively discussions among our large membership, the latest news of interest to beekeepers and the expertise and free advice from many experienced beekeepers, some of whom have been keeping honey bees for many decades.  We have a growing number of enthusiastic young people among the membership as well.

Meetings are approximately 2 hours long with a "Goodie" break in the middle.  All members are encouraged to bring a "Goodie" for everyone to share.  Honey based Goodies are especially appreciated!!

For more information contact Dick Counts at 903-566-6789 or Don Johnson at 903-570-6868 .

Officer elections are held at the April Meeting. If you would like to run for an office or you want to nominate someone for an office, please notify Dick Counts at DICKCOUNTS@BIGPLANET.COM .

On Even numbered months (Feb, April, June, August and October) we have a raffle and an auction to raise funds for the Association.  The raffle/auction helps to keep our dues low - only $7.50 for a Membership!  Bring any beekeeping items or ANYTHING else (new or used) you want to get rid of.  Valuable items are auctioned to the highest bidder. Lots of fun and fellowship!!

Members also have access to an extensive beekeeping dvd video Library including a complete Ohio State University beekeeping course.  Supplement what you learn at the meetings with beekeeping videos in the convenience of your own home.

Become an ETBA member by applying online or at any of the monthly meetings.
