Our Start

In 1939, 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.

Thus began the Eastern Missouri Beekeepers Association (EMBA). It has continued ever since as a vital and growing community of beekeepers, now in its’ 84th year.
