Welcome Hoke County Beekeepers!

This month, one of our members for created this incredible educational display for National Honey Month! It's a fantastic showcase of beekeeping, complete with a beekeeper suit, tools, and a wealth of information about bees and our club.
This display isn't just a great way to promote our club and educate the public; it's also a perfect example of a project that earns points toward your North Carolina State Beekeepers Association Master Beekeeper Program certification.
Creating and setting up an educational display like this one falls under the "Public Service" category. This type of project demonstrates your commitment to sharing knowledge and promoting beekeeping in the community, a core component of the program.
We encourage all our members to think about how you can use your skills and passion for beekeeping to contribute to our community and earn points. Whether it's a display, a presentation at a school, or a workshop, your efforts make a difference.
It will be up for display until the end of September at the Hoke County Public Library!

The NCSBA Summer Conference 2025 in Review:
What a year! 2024 wasn't just amazing, it was absolutely extraordinary for our community! Together, we didn't just achieve goals, we absolutely shattered them. We reached new heights and set an inspiring standard for the future.
Our collective dedication and relentless hard work truly paid off in spectacular fashion, so much so that we received recognition from the NCSBA. At the summer conference banquet dinner, were proudly awarded the Chapter of the Year Award! This isn't just an award, it's a testament to the power of our unity and shared passion.
This monumental achievement wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of our phenomenal members. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you, to our amazing members! Your commitment and heart are the true cornerstones of our success. We can't wait to see what heights we'll conquer together next!
