Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association is an all volunteer, non-profit organization that supports an active beekeeping community and promotes the art and science of bees and beekeeping to the public through education, events and services.
Resolve to BEE a part of everything exciting happening with MABA this coming year! Your club membership lets you learn, network and socialize. We’re excited to present some new programming and events in the year ahead. Save these dates on your calendars and bookmark this site for updates and announcements. Our monthly meetings are held at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church (3180 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30305) inside Heritage Hall on the 2nd Monday
Sometimes even the best laid plans go wry in the apiary. Many of us have done things in the bee yard that, in retrospect, weren’t so smart — for the bees or the beekeeper. At MABA’s January meeting, we’ll kick-off the new year by hearing confessional true stories of beekeeping gone wrong from some of our experienced members. Start your 2025 season on the right foot by resolving not to make these beekeeping mistakes! MABA
The learning curve on beekeeping can be long and steep. Start your beekeeping adventure the right way by learning the fundamentals from MABA’s panel of experts. We welcome anyone who is interested in learning about honey bees, even if a hive is not in your immediate future. Setting up new hives must be done in the spring, generally from March to May. This course is offered in February to give potential beekeepers time to order
Our meetings are held at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Heritage Hall on the 2nd Monday of each month, except September and December when we hold our annual fall honey show/pot luck and holiday party respectively.
Meetings begin with a mentoring session at 6:30 p.m., followed by a featured speaker at 7 p.m. Topics range from the latest findings in honey bee research to hive management, honey, beeswax, and other hive products.
On arrival, check-in at the welcome table to be entered into our monthly door prize drawing. Enjoy snacks and fellowship in the back of the room. Membership is not required.
Everyone interested in honey bees is welcome!
