Becoming a member of Cleveland Beekeepers Association

The Cleveland Beekeepers Association is a forum for Apiarists who all share an interest in the honeybee and the production of home produced honey.
During the summer, meetings are held at members apiaries where apart from increasing our knowledge of beekeeping we also enjoy the company of people who share the same interest.
