Meetings
We normally meet the second Wednesday of every month. Everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a seasoned beekeeper or just thinking about becoming one, come join us!
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Southern Arizona Beekeepers Association is postponing all member meetings until further notice.
