Stateline Beekeepers Association
Share
The “Stateline” in our name refers to the Illinois-Wisconsin and Illinois-Iowa state lines Iowa members come from Dubuque county. Dues are $10/year per family.
The association has grown from 10 beekeepers to more than 60 and includes beekeepers with many different backgrounds and lifestyles. Some of our beekeepers have a single hive, others have several, even as many as 1,600 hives. Each member has something interesting to offer the group as we talk about our varied experiences with beekeeping. The “Stateline” in our name refers to the Illinois-Wisconsin

And, just like that our meetings for the year have come to a close!
We look forward to seeing you all next year! Stay tuned for more info on dates.
Hello y'all!
Tomorrow is the night!
We are back in our regular room...
A retiring beekeeper will be bringing equipment and supplies to the meeting tomorrow. Our understanding is that it will be given to members who may like them. They would like to give boxes to a new beekeeper if possible. I DON'T have a list of what they will be bringing but if you are interested, please come to the meeting!
Tuesday November 12 at 6:00 at the Farm Bureau Building - 210 S. Spring Street in Freeport.
Meeting begins at 6 with a pot luck (be creative!) Please bring a sample of your honey so we can have an informal honey tasting.
We'll have a roundtable and a discussion about winter prep.
