MONTHLY MEETINGS

TVBA's monthly educational meetings provide a gathering place for beekeepers, enthusiasts and industry professionals to enjoy targeted content presented by talented speakers from around Texas.  Fun and fellowship between like-minded attendees are an important aspect of every TVBA gathering.  Meet fellow beekeepers, see old friends, make new connections and learn about bees, plants, beekeeping practices and more!  Arrive early, stay late, grab snacks during the break-time... even join a few of us at the nearby Pub after the meeting and let's talk bees together.  As every beekeeper knows- the learning never stops!  *Scroll Down for Meeting Address + Map, & this month's Presentation Details.
