The Illiana Beekeepers Alliance has several traveling displays that share the many facets of beekeeping. The focus of our club is to educate beekeepers and the public of the benefit of honey bees and native pollinator conservation. Our team will quickly and neatly set up the display and promptly remove it on schedule.
A clean and organized display generates a lot of interest. Our displays have all of the typical items used in beekeeping and some wonderful image of bees, the inside of their homes, and even an actual hive.....bees not include! You can also schedule an actual beekeeper as a guest speaker in advance free of charge, we just ask for an audience of 10 people or more.
There are so many interesting aspects to the art and hobby of beekeeping that people are often amazed at how captivating this can become. We encourage planting native pollinator plants, raising local bees that may be more hardy, and harvesting the bounty of bees, which includes: honey, pollen, propolis, wax, and royal jelly.
To schedule a display at your library email us at GoIBA@yahoo.com
This is what the IBA is all about.........education on every level and related topic! With the implementation of the club library, we saw the opportunity to select books you were interested in.
Here is how the lending library works.
