For the Non-Beekeeper
Need a Speaker about Bees and/or Beekeeping?
Within COBA, we have several members who are willing to share their expertise about bees and/or beekeeping. We are able to present on a variety of topics such as pollination, fruits/vegetables, honey, wax production, health concerns, basic beekeeping, to name just a few. If you are interested in having COBA provide a speaker for your next meeting, please fill out our
Request for Speaker form then use the SAVE AS option to save the document to your computer and then email it as an attachment to
centralohiobeekeepersassoc@gmail.com.
Beekeepers are very busy April to October. Request for speakers should be received 4-6 weeks before your event. We also request that presentations be limited to one day. If more than one presentation is needed, in the same day, there should not be a long time laps between each presentation.
Looking for a Local Source of Honey?!?
Many of the Central Ohio Beekeeper Association Members not only raise bees for their own use, but sell honey and honey-comb locally. If you are looking for local honey, then be sure to check out
these sources.
