Mission Statement
Development and promotion of practical beekeeping methods; To act as an educational resource in the development and promotion of beekeeping for the public and community; and To represent the best interests of Jacksonville beekeepers in government matters.
Who is the Jacksonville Beekeepers Association?
Several of our beekeepers are involved with public speaking and are available to speak at community events about the importance of honeybees in out environment.
Some of our members also participate in "swarm collections" and relocation of unwanted honeybee hives.
We are also proud to be an Exhibitor at the Jacksonville Agricultural Fair each year where our members talk about bees with fair attendees, participate in a honey and wax competition and sell honey either from our apiary or other local suppliers.
Being a beekeeper is a challenging and rewarding experience.
We appreciate your interest and hope you will consider joining our association and learning more ways you can help
encourage survival of the ever important honeybee in our environment.
You do not need to be a beekeeper to join and guests are welcome to attend our meetings.
