The Monadnock Beekeepers Association was established in December of 2003 to support and educate beekeepers in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire. We are a local chapter of the New Hampshire Beekeepers Association.

The Monadnock Beekeepers Association exists because people interested in honeybees in the Monadnock region join and contribute to the club. You don't even need to be a beekeeper to join! You just need to share our interest in these fascinating creatures.
Our dues are a modest $20 per year (January through December). Members receive first notification, early access and no/reduced cost to speakers and other opportunities.

Bee School Information

Monadnock Beekeepers Association Bee Icon

Every spring, the Monadnock Beekeepers Association hosts a New Beekeeper School for anyone interested in learning the art of beekeeping. This program consists of two classroom sessions taught by experienced beekeepers John Therriault and Bruce Harrison. The 2026 sessions will be held on February 7th and 14th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Stonewall Farm's Education Center, located at 242 Chesterfield Road in Keene.

After completing the classroom sessions, all participants will have the chance to purchase bees from the club and will be paired with an experienced beekeeper mentor for the season. In addition, participants in Beekeeper School will have the opportunity to attend monthly hands-on classes throughout the season, taught by club mentors.

A $160 fee per household must be paid upfront to hold your seat.
