Welcome to our website! We in West Apiarian County strive to
manage our honeybees for the benefit of plants and mankind.
The honey bee is the primary pollinator for the 40,000 acres
of fruit trees and over 100,000 acres of vegetable crops
grown locally. They are also a source of a natural, organic
sweetener in the over 108,000 quarts of honey produced by
our members' hives each year.
Our society is devoted to educating
people on the proper management techniques to produce
healthy, nutritious honey. We also help newcomers to get
established and share information on the latest technology
and equipment available.

Membership
- The Beekeepers' Society is open to all people interested
in honeybees as either a hobby or as a profession. Our
members are willing and able to help newcomers get
started and to provide educational programs that will
help the professionals succeed in their businesses.
Projects - On August 12, Dr.
Willis Droan will be here to speak to us of the importance
of bees to pollination of fruit and vegetable crops. He is a
world renowned researcher and was the first to discover that
the hair on the bees was the mechanism by which pollen is
spread from the anther of the flower to the stigma of the
pistil.
