Members and Friends, please join us on March 17 for our Membership Meeting and educational session

This will be an IN PERSON meeting at the University of Missouri Extension Center at 260 Brown Road in St. Peters.

The club meeting will begin at 7:00.  You can come early – 6:00 PM –  for Q&A with experienced beekeepers.

Our Guest Speaker is long time beekeeper and member, Eugene Makovec.

The Swarm: Why and How Colonies Reproduce, Preventative Measures, Swarm Retrieval, and Trapping

Eugene Makovec, Editor of American Bee Journal, is a 29-year, third-generation hobbyist beekeeper with about a dozen colonies. He is past- President of Three Rivers Beekeepers in St. Charles County, Missouri, has been active in several other local clubs and the Missouri State Beekeepers Association, and is the only two-time Missouri Beekeeper of the Year (2006 and 2015).
Eugene made a brief foray into politics in 2015, when he spearheaded a successful legislative effort to deregulate the sale of honey in Missouri — removing honey from the “jams and jellies” law (and beekeepers from their “food processor” status) and thus allowing thousands of the state’s beekeepers to sell their product through retail outlets without benefit of a commercial kitchen.

You can attend in person or Zoom into the meeting.  If you will be joining us by Zoom, register in advance for this webinar:
