Registration before start of meeting. We need volunteer judges and your support to organize! No experience required, you don't even need to be a beekeeper - You really only need to love the taste and the finer qualities of local Bucks County honey. (i.e. friends and partners encouraged to join)! We are looking for a group of about 7-10 members to organize, run and be the judges during our October General Meeting. Being this is our 2nd time hosting the competition we are expecting minimal time and effort but we need your help to pull of this event! It is a great way as a new beekeeper to get involved supporting the club - You don't even need to have bees to help the club in a significant way and have fun and make new bee friends. |
We need your help! Please volunteer to help BCBA succeed. We are hoping that most of you want to see BCBA continue to thrive for not just yourselves and the next generation of beekeepers as well. And you might be able to volunteer an hour or more to help the club succeed. You might have great ideas and skills to contribute—and we need that too! I want to see this club continue to succeed, grow, be an invaluable resource to our community during and importantly after my tenure. My promise to you is this: to guide, to communicate, to train, to ask for help, and most importantly support this club and its members. You all are this club’s greatest asset. | BCBA Board Members 2024 President - Steve Briegel Vice President - Kurt Skowronek Treasurer - Karen Norris Secretary - Open At-Large: Kate Steck At-Large: Dave Gross At-Large: Open We are currently looking for additional volunteers to serve on various committees.
