Welcome to SABA!

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to expanding the knowledge and improving the success of our beekeepers, as well as educating the broader public about the importance of bees in our shared environment. We aim to provide a forum for cooperation among beekeepers and all those working to improve the welfare of bees and other pollinators.
