ABOUT US

Welcome to Perry County Beekeepers Club!

At our club, we foster a collaborative and supportive environment where beekeepers of all experience levels can connect, learn, and grow. We are a passionate community dedicated to protecting honey bees and their ecosystems while promoting responsible beekeeping practices.

Since our founding in 2019—and achieving 501(c)(3) status in 2023—we've been committed to educating the public and supporting beekeepers through engaging meetings, hands-on workshops, and special events.

Want to support our mission? Visit us at our upcoming shows, listed here on our website! The proceeds from our legally bottled, approved, and insured honey go directly toward educational initiatives that help spread awareness about the importance of bees. We also offer a variety of other products you may enjoy—stop by and chat with our friendly volunteers!

As a 501(c)(3) educational organization, we are always seeking donations to help fund our programs for young and old alike. If you’d like to contribute, please send a check to: Perry County Beekeepers Club 300 Flint Drive, Landisburg, PA 17040
