Bee Club Basics is an easy to follow guide to establish, and reinvigorate local educational non-profits.
"Bee Club Basics
How to Start a Bee Club" 2nd Edition
During my 5 years as Missouri State Beekeepers Association secretary, one of the most-asked questions was about how to run a bee club. "Bee Club Basics" 2nd edition is my updated 276-page guide to get that educational non-profit club started or re-invigorated.
With 56 pages of sample documents and check lists, beekeepers can quickly get an educational non-profit off the ground and focused on supporting their local beekeeping community.
The book and class are also certified through Great Plains Master Beekeeping for credit towards journeyman level master beekeeping certification.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book - Great Info - Not just for Bee Clubs
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020 Amazon Verified Purchase
'This book gives you useful information in an easy to understand entertaining format. Charlotte is a wonderful teacher. The structure of the information would work for any club that wants to get off to a good start and avoid some of the pitfalls of starting from scratch. It includes sample agendas, checklists, surveys, class certificates, useful resources with website links, and 28 pages of pullouts that we are allowed to copy for use with our own clubs. Interspersed throughout are conversation bubbles of interesting facts about bees. There is also a glossary of beekeeping and other terms that help the beginner understand some of the referenced activities or topics."
5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Practical Guide
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2020 Amazon
"...In simple, easy to read print, this book covers all the pieces of the "club" organization process. Even with no previous experience, a group of interested, dedicated beekeepers can organize a club. It covers everything from advertising to volunteers in "how-to" fashion. It includes handy lists which provide step-by-step instructions that will lead to forming a well-organized and smooth -running club. An additional nice feature is that some pages are designed to be removed and copied for use by many. So, if you want to move from "coffee-club" to a member supportive, perhaps even community supportive organization, this is the book for you. "
