Welcome to the new home of

We've been recognized by the governor's office for multiple years. And we're this state's largest organization for contributions into honeybee research.

And we don't teach beekeeping lore. For example, most books and classes teach the annual preventive application of antibiotics on beehives. That's bad science, bad medicine, and... well... just bad.

And many teachers recommend the murder of queen cells and queens in favor of purchased queens on a routine basis. You'd be right if you thought this might narrow the gene pool and potentially weaken the health of bees overall. While there may be reasons to replace a queen, "because it's September" is just plain... silly.

And many beekeeping meetings perpetuate the blame of the honeybee crisis on causes promoted by environmentalists, when in fact the biggest killer of honey bees is also the biggest killers of humans on our planet...
