Texas Beekeepers Association publishes a bi-monthly Journal with current information about Beekeeping, Association events, Honey Queen activities and much more.  TBA's Publications Director, Michelle Boerst, is always looking for appropriate Journal content – research or experiences with bees, beekeeping tips, new equipment or any bee related information. Please email her if you have ideas, suggestions or copy.

The most current issue produced by the Texas Beekeepers Organization is only available to TBA members and its member organizations (such as TVBA). 

Members of Trinity Valley Beekeepers Organization can only view the most current issue via www.tvbees.org using the "members only" link E-Mailed to them after submitting the form below because they will not have login credentials on TBA's website to view it unless they are TBA members in their own right. 

Members of the Texas Beekeepers Association wishing to view the most current issue are encouraged to do so at TBA's website using their own login credentials.  More archived issues not present on tvbees.org are available on the Texas Beekeepers Association website without membership to either organization.  Many of those issues are included on the "members only" current issue access page for your convenience, but not every issue.

Submit the "Request for Access" form below to receive a link to the most current issue:

Once the form is processed, you will receive a link to the most current issue of the TBA Journal located on TVBA's website www.tvbees.org. Please save the link or bookmark it.  It is prohibited to share the current issue link or the webpage with individuals who are not current members of Trinity Valley Beekeepers Association or the Texas Beekeepers Association.


So be sure to swing by and taste some of that Sweet American Honey made right here by local honey bees with the support of their keepers.

Better yet- buzz on by and volunteer with TVBA and help us bring beekeeping into more backyards- the chickens will thank you!

We are looking for volunteers to participate in the following:

  1. Please Donate honey! We will bottle and label various beekeepers' honey into "Honey Bee Flights" that tour attendees can purchase to support TVBA and to take home a taste of local sweetness.  Even if you cannot make the event, when need your liquid lovliness!  Not only does this help TVBA educate  the public, it gets  your name and brand in front of honey-lovers.
  2. We also need honey-helpers to facilitate the Honey Tasting Activity, set-up and clean-up.
  3. Just wanna talk bees?  GREAT!  Help us educate the public about honey bees and beekeeping.

(free entry to the event for a limited number TVBA-registered helpers).

A Peep at the Coops occurs every year at Moss Haven Farm located at Moss Haven Elementary School.  Started as a simple grassy patch in March 2012, the farm has grown into 23 raised beds, a farm field and chicken coop. 

The hard work of students and volunteers has garnered the farm recognition as an American Heart Association Teaching Gardenand a United Way’s Healthy Zone School.

"Moss Haven Farm exists to cultivate a respect for the earth and food-growth process in our students. Our vision is that they will develop a lifelong interest in responsible environmental practices, seek to live a healthy lifestyle, and cultivate a passion for giving back to the community. In addition to enriching academics, our program seeks to spark positive growth in our students’ families and our community."
