​  RCBA

 
 
 
The Rutherford County Beekeepers Association (RCBA) strives through education and friendship to raise the skill level of its members; provide an opportunity to share ideas; stay current on the methods of preventing and overcoming pests and diseases; inform the public of the importance of bees and spread beekeeping interest in the community. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The RCBA meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm at Lane Agri-Park.  We also host a Beginner Beekeeping Short-Course each spring.  For more information regarding the RCBA you can email rutherford.beeclub@gmail.com or call 615-274-3725.
