Welcome to The Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association
The Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association is a non-profit organization that exists to exchange ideas and experiences about beekeeping. We are generally hobby beekeepers with some sideline beekeepers. Most of our membership lives around the Minneapolis and St. Paul area in Minnesota, but we have members from out state Minnesota and the surrounding states. We all enjoy beekeeping to the extent that we are not frightened too much by the challenges that impact beekeeping today.
We meet on the second Tuesday of each month (except December and January). Most meetings are at the St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota (Looking for Gary Reuter? Click here).
