The Maine State Beekeepers Association, Inc., was founded in 1976.  Our principal goals are to educate and inform Maine beekeepers on the theory and practice of sound beekeeping, to improve communication among beekeepers, to represent the interests of beekeepers before the state legislature and in the statewide agricultural community, and to provide substantive information about bees and beekeeping to the public.  Our three hundred-plus members include everyone from single-colony hobbyists to professional beekeepers and commercial pollinators, and they represent all levels of beekeeping experience and expertise.  We sponsor an annual meeting every spring, maintain a library of print, video, and beekeeping resource materials, and publish a newsletter bi-monthly.  MSBA has eight local chapter affiliates throughout the state.

MSBA members are welcome to attend board meetings, held on the third Thursday of each winter month, in Augusta.  Feel free to contact any board member below for directions to the meeting or with questions, comments, and ideas about how MSBA can better serve the Maine beekeeping community.  Finally, if you’re not an MSBA member, we invite you to join us.
