ABOUT US

Our goal at Perry County Beekeepers Club is to provide an open and collaborative space where beekeepers can come together to learn and share experiences. We are a community of passionate beekeepers devoted to maintaining the health of honey bees and their ecosystems. Through our meetings, workshops, and events, we aim to provide beekeepers of all levels with the education, resources, and support they need to succeed. Come be a part of our community and let's keep the bees buzzing.

We formed in 2019 as a club and became a 501c3 in 2023

We invite people to come see us at our shows that are listed here on our website to support our organization. The proceeds that we make from the selling of our legally bottled approved and insured honey goes toward the education of the public. We also sell other items you might be interested in.  Come talk to our volunteers!
