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.

    November 25: Product of the Hive by Jodi Dubuclet

    If you have seen Jodi's booth set-up at events around DFW then you'll know why we have asked her to speak on the subject of hive products. Based out of Lake Highlands, Jodi operates D's Bees. With various skincare items and honey product varieties, boutique add-ons and more, her vendor booth is a cornucopia of creativity.

    She also has her branding designed and executed with a fun and professional flair. One would think she's a well-funded, largely-staffed national operation rather than a super-busy backyard beekeeper with kids! Join us for her presentation and be inspired!
