We are a group of beekeepers who keep honey bees around the Des Moines, Iowa, area. There is no fee to join our group.


We aim to meet the third Thursday of every month.

Mission: To increase awareness of honey bees and their population through passion, sustainable practices, networking, and mentoring.

Vision:  By enacting the mission, we envision the following

  • A public that is educated about and welcoming toward honey bees and beekeepers
  • Beekeeping events in the community
  • Partnering with local, related groups

Our passion will be expressed through education to other beekeepers and outreach to non-beekeepers.
