Greene County Beekeepers Association

Greene County Beekeepers Association members are hobbyists or full-time beekeepers who are dedicated to the care and future of honey bees in and around Greene County, Ohio. Some of our members are just getting started as beekeepers, and some have enjoyed their apiaries for decades! All share an interest in the wonderful and remarkable world of apis mellifera. Our goal is to promote the world of honeybees and apicultural activities. We invite anyone interested in learning more about bees and beekeeping to come to our next meeting or event and join our organization.
If you have any questions, or just want more information, please contact GCBA.

GCBA Speaker of the Month -Reed Johnson PhD

Reed M. Johnson, PhD.

Reed got his start in bee research as an undergraduate “bee wrangler” at the University of Montana. He went on to get a Ph.D. in Entomology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he worked on the honey bee genome project. Reed is currently a Professor in the Department of Entomology at The Ohio State University in Wooster, Ohio where he teaches two courses: one on beekeeping and the other on pesticide science. His research focuses on determining how bees are exposed to pesticides and the effects that pesticides have on the health of honey bees, with the larger goal of promoting bee health in the context of modern agriculture.

We routinely meet the third Tuesday of each month, February – November at 7:00 p.m. in Xenia, OH
