Northwestern Pennsylvania Beekeepers Association
The Buzz of Beekeeping in Northwest PA!
The Northwestern Pennsylvania Beekeepers Association (NWPBA) serves five counties, including Warren, Erie, Crawford, Venango, and Mercer. Membership began with 25 people and has grown to over 300. Some of our members are professional beekeepers, while others are just getting started. All of us share an interest in the wonderful and remarkable world of the honey bee!
The purpose of the NWPBA is to provide our members with interesting and practical information about honey bees and beekeeping techniques. The club also provides the general public with educational programs about benefits of bees and beekeeping in our communities. The NWPBA is an important resource that maintains a working relationship with local media, farm organizations, and those who have a growing interest in beekeeping.
We are a 501-C3 non-profit, charitable organization.
If you share our interest, please join us!
We will help each other in our beekeeping operation/hobby. Our monthly meetings are in early spring and fall in Edinboro, PA. They typically include a Headliner Guest Speaker, Member Spotlight and a Q&A Beekeeper panel, along with door prizes and social opportunities to network with your beekeeping neighbors.
This year's meetings will be:
February 15, 2025
March 15, 2025
April 26, 2025
October 18, 2025
November 15, 2025
There are also monthly beek breakfasts held at the IHOP in Erie on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.
