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
