Welcome to the
Milwaukee Waukesha Beekeepers Association.
2009 Package bees:
the 2009 package bee pickup was a success! Everyone picked up their packages and
got them installed. We did several demonstrations, and had some fun!
WHY HONEYBEES?
Beekeepers have fun doing something they enjoy, and commune with nature. Beekeeping
is a great way to relax.
Joining MWBA gives members a discount to the beekeeping magazine to: American
Bee Journal. http://www.dadant.com And Beeculture magazine. http://www.beeculture.com Members also tour honey producers and other beekeeping operations to see the current state of beekeeping
in the area. The association is also a good connection to other regional, state and national beekeeping organizations. The
club plans workshops, attends regional and other meetings, and plans special activities.
Beekeeping is a great way to study the relationship between plants
and insects, harvest locally gathered honey, and be involved in a simple low-tech hobby with a tradition of thousands of years.
Beekeeping can be practiced by people of any age, and can take as much or as
little time as you want to put into it. In addition to honey, there are other hive products that can be harvested, including
beeswax, propolis, royal jelly, and pollen. Honeybees are also used for pollination of flowers and food crops, and apitherapy.
