The Escarosa Beekeepers Association is an nonprofit Sub-Chapter of the Florida State Beekeepers Association established to help area beekeepers. We are comprised of individuals and families, young and old, who share an interest in beekeeping, pollination, honey production, and other products of the beehive. Keeping abreast of the latest information on beekeeping, we assist in controlling the spread of honeybee diseases, parasites, pests and potential Africanization. Sharing ideas and improved methods of management, we inform the public as to the value of honey and the importance of honey bees as pollinators, thereby elevating beekeeping to a place of eminence in the Agricultural Industry. Our club activities include:
Educating club members to improve beekeeping skills. Providing Beekeeping Demonstrations for schools and other organizations interested in beekeeping. Maintaining a Honeybee Exhibit at the Annual Pensacola Interstate Fair, Agriculture Building. The honey we harvest is available for sale during the exhibit. Making the general public aware of the impending arrival of the Africanized Honeybee to our area. We emphasize the beekeepers role in their control. Conducting an Annual Beekeepers Workshop in cooperation with
Escambia County Extension Service during the Month of September.
