Club Dues

Why Join the Joplin Area Beekeepers Association

A strong beekeeping season starts with a strong support system. Our club brings together hobbyists, sideliners, and commercial keepers from across the Four States to share local knowledge that directly improves your success in the apiary. Membership gives you access to practical, field-tested guidance that is relevant to southwest Missouri beekeeper challenges such as queen performance, hive management in humid climates, seasonal timing, and winter survival.

What Your Membership Includes

Your dues help fund education, community programs, and research-based instruction. In return, members receive:

• Full access to monthly meetings
• Hands-on training opportunities throughout the year
• Priority registration for limited-seat workshops and classes
• Discounts on select club programs
• Eligibility for mentorship opportunities
• Early notice of equipment group orders and supply runs
• Access to a network of local beekeepers who share real experience, not theory
• Participation in volunteer initiatives, teaching days, and public outreach
• The satisfaction of supporting a nonprofit that protects pollinators and grows new beekeepers

Individual vs Family Membership

We offer two membership levels so you can choose what fits your household.

Individual Membership

Built for one beekeeper who wants full access to meetings, education, and club resources.

Family Membership

Designed for two people in the same household who both want to participate in club events, learning opportunities, and member benefits.

How Your Dues Support the Club

Membership dues fund educational materials, meeting space, guest speakers, the scholarship hive program, and community outreach projects. Your support helps us bring more training and resources to the region while keeping beekeeping accessible to beginners.
