Welcome to the Stark County Beekeepers' Association
The Stark County Beekeepers' Association is a nonprofit, educational organization of beekeepers in in northeastern Ohio. We welcome both professional and amateur beekeepers. Meetings are free and open to the public, and individual and family memberships are modestly priced.
You do not have to be a current beekeeper to participate with the Stark County Beekeepers. Those with an interest in beekeeping, or those who are retired beekeepers, are welcome as well.
Our regular meetings are usually monthly, but are sometimes preempted by special events such as a picnic or field trip. Check the calendar page for the latest meeting schedule.
If you are a property owner with a swarm or feral colony of unwanted bees, contact one of our members about honeybee removal.
