Members of the EAST TEXAS BEEKEEPERS ASSOCIATION compiled this pamphlet during the year of 1992. It is intended as a guide for new beekeepers in Smith and surrounding counties. We realize that hive and weather conditions dictate when a beekeeper can work hives. This booklet will give a beekeeper a time frame during which the correct conditions will likely occur.
Formed in 1985; Non-profit since 2000.
