Welcome to Holland, Michigan’s Beekeeping Community.
We provide encouragement and support to local beekeepers and those interested in promoting the health of our local honey bees.
Purpose
To support the ongoing education of local beekeepers through education, mentoring, up-to-date information, and hands-on workshops.
Our club meets monthly on the second Thursday April through November. January gatherings vary for our annual meeting and elections. In February, our club hosts an annual ‘Bee School’ for those considering keeping bees, new beekeepers and intermediate beekeepers. And in March, everyone is encouraged to attend the Michigan Beekeepers Association’s ‘Spring Conference’ in East Lansing.
Membership is free, just sign-up for our newsletter.
Monthly educational gatherings April-November held at:
Howard Miller Community Center
14 S Church St , Zeeland, MI 49464
