Here, you will find information for the beginner as well as the veteran Beekeeper. The Illinois State Beekeepers Association 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 beekeeping 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. Membership is open to all persons interested in Honey Bees and is usually part of joining a local, affiliate association.
