The BCBA has extracting equipment the club offers to its members free of charge. We have 2 small extractors, uncapping tubs and bottling kits.
These items were either donated by previous members, and others were purchased from proceeds from our raffle ticket sales at the short course each year. Equipment can be loaned for up to 4 days by reserving with Stacey Adair at 983-6223. It must be returned cleaned, dry and ready for the next member, or a $50 cleaning fee will be assessed to the member.

Welcome
Welcome to the web site of the Blount County Beekeepers Association in Maryville, Tennessee.
This site will tell you a little about the association and how to become a member. It will also tell you a little about beekeeping.
Bees are an important part of our environment and particularly our agricultural system. They are also fascinating creatures.
We hope you will be interested enough to join us at some point, even if you're not interested in keeping bees. There are lots of ways you can join in with what we do.
The Blount County Beekeepers Association meets on the second Monday of every month, except for September and December, at 6:30 p.m. at the Maryville Church of Christ, 611 Sherwood Drive in Maryville.
All of the meetings are open to the public, and anyone interested in learning more about beekeeping is welcome and encouraged to attend.
The following is the schedule of meetings and activities for 2018:
January 8 – regular meeting
February 12 – regular meeting
February 17 – BCBA short course for new beekeepers
