Mission Statement

The Tillamook Beekeepers Association (TBA) is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to safeguarding and sustaining honey bees.  We do this by improving our own beekeeping practices and we seek to help others do the same.  We exist to promote the study, science, and art of keeping honey bees and to provide education, encouragement and mentoring to beekeepers in the Tillamook region of Oregon.  Introducing the importance and gentleness of honey bees to children and adults, who are not beekeepers, is just one of our many important goals.
