Our Mission
The purposes for which the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association, Inc. is organized are exclusively charitable and educational within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue Law. In particular, these activities include educating school children, beekeepers, and the public about honey bees; assisting beekeepers with their apiary management problems; and doing such fund-raising activities as necessary and proper to acquire the resources to accomplish the above activities.
Meetings
Meetings are held at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Mershon Hall on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. The Annual Picnic and Honey Contest held in September may be scheduled for a different day than the regular meeting day. Please see the Calendar for more details about scheduled events.
Meetings begin at 7:00 pm and conclude by 9:00 pm.
Meetings usually include interesting speakers and discussions on a variety of topics related to beekeeping, such as hive management, honey bee problems, honey, beeswax, and other hive products.
Everyone interested in honey bees is welcome!
