One of our primary interests is the promotion of scientific study of honeybees and honey production. We are constantly on the watch to review proposed legislation that may effect apiculture or honey production in Pennsylvania.The Pa State Beekeepers Association strives to promote fellowship between beekeepers and County Beekeeping Associations.
