The purpose of this non-profit organization is to promote the keeping of bees for pollination, honey, wax and other natural products

The queen bee is dependent on attendant bees and her beekeeper to care for and feed her. Her primary function is the laying of eggs for the preservation of the colony.

Bees are used to pollinate seed crops like onions, broccoli and lettuce. They are used widely to pollinate citrus, fruit and nut crops as well. Without this pollination, the crop yields, and even their survival, would be threatened

Wherever flowers bloom, bees may be kept. The success of beekeeping is dependant on the climatic rigor and the length of the growing season and the amount of blooms available. Some bees are even kept in Alaska and others are even kept by nomadic tribes in the near east as they wander the hot deserts. And you can see bees being kept in rural as well as urban areas.

Members make themselves available for public speaking engagements at schools, fairs and service organization meetings and affairs providing the public an awareness of the need for maintaining bees .
