Holland Area Beekeepers Association Educating and encouraging West Michigan Beekeepers. A Michigan chartered 501c-3 nonprofit organization.

About Us ...

The Holland Area Beekeepers Association began in the 1950's as an opportunity for local beekeepers to meet and share ideas. We strive to carry on their endeavor as we continue to meet and share resources to educate and encourage all those who love the honeybee. Holland Area Beekeepers Association Mission Statement:

Encourage and embolden beekeepers and help to establish first-time beekeepers in the success of their efforts. Promote fraternity among local members and beekeepers universally. Afford a forum for the exchange of ideas, guidance and mutual support in the keeping of Apis mellifara, the honey bee. Assist in the education of the community relating to apiculture, its benefits, and necessity. Become a resource for materials, equipment, knowledge, marketing, and local patronage of beekeeping products.

Thursday, October 15 - Honey bees communicate in remarkable ways, and much of that conversation happens through scent. In this engaging talk, discover how honey bees use pheromones to signal alarm, coordinate activity, guide workers, maintain colony organization, and communicate important information throughout the hive.
