Welcome

We are the Brown County Beekeepers Association, a non profit organization dedicated to promoting beekeeping in Southern Ohio.

Our purpose in coming together is to share our knowledge, experience and joy with each other and the public in the art of keeping honey bees.

In doing this our focus will be on learning, acquiring and using modern colony management practices and techniques in dealing with the multitude of maladies that now threaten the honey bee.

If you live in our area and have an interest in keeping honey bees or would just like to learn a little more about this amazing insect then come join us and we will gladly and enthusiastically do our best to enlighten you.

We meet monthly with open discussion, presentations of interest, featured speakers, and weather permitting open hive demonstrations.
