July 2008

The Nashville Area Beekeepers Association is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Tennessee Beekeepers Association.

The NABA is pleased to welcome many new members this year. By encouraging new people to become beekeepers, we hope to insure the success of honeybees in their ongoing battle against parasitic mites, other pests and diseases. Anyone can be a beekeeper and NABA members are dedicated to helping.
