GCBA Honey Harvest 2008
Greene County Beekeepers Association members are both hobbyist and professional beekeepers, dedicated to the care and future of honeybees in and around the Greene County, Ohio area. Some of our members are just getting started as beekeepers, and some have enjoyed their apiaries for decades! All share an interest in the wonderful and remarkable world of the honeybee.

Our aim is to promote the world of honeybees and apicultural activities. We invite anyone interested in learning more about bees and beekeeping to come to our next meeting or event and join our organization. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact us to request more information.
