At our August meeting, MABA will welcome Ed Morgan, who will share his journey from new-bee to hobbyist, to full-time apiarist making a living from bees. Ed currently serves as vice president of the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association. Operating Bean’s Bees and Honey (beansbeesandhoney.com), he maintains bee colonies for honey production all over the metro Atlanta area; offers hive tours through the Air BnB Experiences platform; and specializes in structural bee removals. In 2022, he was recognized as MABA’s Beekeeper of the Year.
Our August meeting will begin at 6:30 pm with a mentoring session led by MABA President Peter Helfrich, who will discuss “Bee-ing A Good Bee Neighbor.”
Our monthly meetings are held at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church (3180 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30305) inside third-floor classroom C302 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. 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!
