Education
Education is a primary mission of the MHBA
We offer lots of learning opportunities.
- Our association with the University of Minnesota (UMN) Bee Lab provides us a direct conduit to new research and information
- Membership meetings provide:
- Featured local and national expert speakers on bees and beekeeping related topics
- Beekeeping questions answered by a UMN Bee Lab expert
- Hive demonstrations
- Lending Library
- Our closed facebook page offers a forum to ask questions and share information with experienced and expert beekeepers.
- Classes on beginning beekeeping and advanced topics are offered through the UMN, and other organizations.
- Community Outreach Education is how we connect our volunteer educator’s knowledge and experience with others
The scholarship is an excellent way to introduce beekeeping to an interested young person between the ages of 12 and 17.
