Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 27th at 6 PM.

2026 Beginner Beekeeping Course

Our beginner beekeeping course will begin around the end of January  for four consecutive Monday evenings. Check back here and our Facebook site for updates. The class is located at the SMB Community Center 4000 E 7th, Joplin, MO 64801

2026 LOCAL NUCS AND QUEENS

It’s a new year and starting a new beekeeping season and once again the Joplin Area Beekeepers Association is supporting local nuc and queen suppliers.  These beekeepers are known in the area clubs plus strong members in the industry.  All of them have experience and solid reputations for trust and dedication to excellence. 

Reach out to them for advice and to make an order.  I hope your season goes well and you grow in confidence.
