Members of BAC include commercial, hobbyist, and brand new beekeepers from around the SW MO area. BAC serves as an educational resource for beekeepers, using member knowledge and curiosity to provide beekeeping lessons every month. Beekeeping can be a life-long learning obsession and joy... we tell people it is an addictive hobby. Being a member of a beekeeping club is an important part of successful beekeeping! There is no one perfect way to keep bees, and success at being a bee “keeper” rather than a bee “haver” is the goal of each member. As seasons and conditions change, so do the bees and their needs. One of our favorite observations is, “Honey bees don’t read the books!”
