The '''Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association''' welcomes new beekeepers, or anyone with an interest in honey bees. We would very much like to have you at our meetings, which are on the third Thursday of each month, except December, January, July, and August. Rather than a June meeting, we have a Sunday afternoon potluck picnic, with a Chinese auction, some open hive work, and a lot of good food and fellowship. Monthly meetings sometimes offer speakers, other times we have informal discussions about member concerns, current beekeeping issues, or we trade swarm stories, and generally try to keep up with the latest information about honey bees. The dues are $10.00 per year, starting in January. Your dues go for sending a monthly newsletter to you, as well as obtaining outside speakers for our meetings. Beekeeping organizations have something for everyone - information for someone who has never kept bees, and also information for experienced beekeepers. We love seeing both old and new faces, so please become a member!

The Northern Piedmont Beekeepers Association welcomes new beekeepers, or anyone with an interest in honeybees. These days there is an endless number of places to find information regarding the honeybee and how to begin your journey into beekeeping. We don't limit ourselves to geography, but we are a community for those in Culpeper and surrounding areas. Beekeeping techniques in Culpeper will be different than what would be needed in other climates. In addition, there is significant difference between reading or even viewing others online, and interacting with fellow beekeepers in person.

The NPBA has in person meetings on the third Thursday of most months of each year. We have speakers that are not only expert beekeepers, but are knowledgeable of regulations and techniques for our area. The best part is that you can network with other beekeepers in Culpeper.
