Welcome to the ISBA
Welcome to the on-line home of the Illinois State Beekeepers Association (ISBA), your source for information on Honey Bees, Honey, Stinging Insects, Products of the Hive, Swarms, and Beekeeping in Illinois. Here, you will find information for the beginner as well as the veteran Beekeeper.
The Illinois State Beekeepers Association (ISBA) was organized in 1891. Over the years the ISBA has developed a strong working relationship with local beekeeping associations throughout the state and with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. The purpose of the ISBA is to promote interest in Honey Bees and Beekeeping by encouraging good beekeeping practices in Illinois, the utilization of Honey Bees for the pollination of agricultural crops and the dissemination of information about Honey Bees and beekeeping.
Through its many activities and programs, the ISBA assists in making bee keeping both a pleasurable and profitable enterprise for beekeepers in the state. The ISBA recognizes the importance of a viable Honey Bee population to the continuing economic success of Illinois agriculture and horticulture.
In addition to serving its Illinois Resident Beekeeping Members, the ISBA is also a source to those who are interested in beginning Beekeeping, have a general interest in Honey Bees or have experienced problems with Honey Bees or other stinging Insects in their home or residential area.
Membership is open to all persons interested in Honey Bees and is usually part of joining a local, affiliate association. To join the ISBA and a local association, please contact an affiliate association nearest to your home.
