Aug 2025 Monthly Meeting
Please join us for our August meeting, our guest speaker will be Eugene Makovec. Eugene will be discussing Missouri’s Honey Law and Feeding Colonies for winter preparation.
Eugene Makovec is a 30-year, third-generation beekeeper with about a dozen colonies in Lincoln County. He has been Editor of American Bee Journal since 2018, and has been a long time contributor to the Three Rivers Beekeepers in St. Charles County. He served on the board of the Missouri State Beekeepers Association for 11 years, and is a two-time Missouri Beekeeper of the Year (2006 and 2015).
Eugene jumped briefly into the political fray in 2015, spearheading a successful effort to deregulate the sale of honey in Missouri — by stripping our pure product of its “processed food” designation and thus allowing us to sell it through retail outlets without benefit of a commercial kitchen.
Come early to enjoy a little social time and dessert at 6:15 pm, the presentations will start at 6:45 pm. Bring your questions for our experts, they will make sure you’re on track for this month in beekeeping. Our meetings are open to everyone, see you there!
