Spring 2012

Spring is here again.  After a mild winter, the bees are starting to build up their hives.  It is time to order new packages or nucs, clean up your equipment, and get ready for another honey season.

Is beekeeping a safe activity in the Spokane and Inland Empire metropolis and surrounding urban residential areas?  Here is what some folks in another urban area have to say.

If you have just found the IEBA and are looking for information on beekeeping in the northwest, join us at one of the meetings to get the latest local apiary news, straight from the beekeepers mouth.

For those of you new to our site InlandBeemail.com©, the Inland Empire Beekeeper's Association serves bee-keeping hobbiests and apiary professionals of the Inland Northwest from Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. The IEBA was established to promote beekeeping in eastern Washington state and the Idaho panhandle. The association and this site are intended to provide a public educational resource for honey, bees and the incredible hobby (and for some the profession) of beekeeping.

Our aim is to promote the world of honeybees and apicultural activities. For anyone interested in learning more about beekeeping, we invite you to join us at our monthly meeting. The Association is located in Spokane, Washington and holds meetings on the second Friday of each month. The meetings are that the Spokane County WSU Ag Extension Office on Havana in Spokane, Washington. The meeting starts at 6:30 PM with Officers and Board meetings. At 7:00 PM is social time and at 7:30 PM the general meeting starts. The IEBA is a member of the Washington State Beekeepers Association who keep their home at http://www.wasba.org.
