Taking Notes

No matter what type of hives you use, or beekeeping methodology you follow, one common trait shared by good beekeepers is TAKING NOTES. With notes you can accurately understand next steps or get help from a mentor.

Working with a Mentor

The EMBA Mentoring Program assists new beekeepers in developing their beekeeping skills by introducing them to an experienced beekeeper who will help them one on one during their first year.

ABOUT EMBA

The Eastern Missouri Beekeepers Association (EMBA) is a volunteer-based organization that trains beginning and advanced beekeepers, promotes beekeeping within the region; and provides networking opportunities for beekeepers, old and new.

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the EMBA began in 1939 when a group of beekeepers in the St. Louis area got together to share their best practices, learn how to improve their success rate, and make friends with others who shared their beekeeping interests.

It has continued ever since as a vital and growing community of beekeepers, now in its’ 84th year.
