ABOUT US

BEEKEEPERS OF THE BITTERROOT FORMED A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN FOUNDING MEMBERS DETERMINED THE NEED TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE AMONG LOCAL BEEKEEPERS, "NEWBEES" AND "WANNABEES".

OUR CLUB HAS A WIDE VARIETY OF MEMBERS, FROM PEOPLE WHO DON'T YET HAVE BEES TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN KEEPING BEES FOR 30+ YEARS.

OUR MISSION
  • TO DISSEMINATE INFORMATION CONCERNING HONEY BEES AND BEEKEEPING.
  • TO HOLD PUBLIC FORUMS AT WHICH BEEKEEPERS CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION AND/OR SERVICES TO EACH OTHER AND TO THE COMMUNITY. 
  • TO SERVE AS A RESOURCE TO LOCAL BEEKEEPERS AND ALL INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN THE NATURE AND VALUE OF HONEY BEES. 
  • TO ENCOURAGE GOOD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AS A MEANS OF MAINTAINING HEALTHY APIARIES.
  • TO LOBBY AND PROVIDE SUPPORT TO OUR LAWMAKERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEES TO AGRICULTURE.
