Club members help local beekeepers with education and mutual support; host hive tours; make presentations to garden clubs, the Carbon County Fair, Carbon County Extension programs, and schools, among others; and sells honey at the Aspen Sky Merchant Mall (see listing above).

Member Billie Helwick says: “We have a group of beekeepers in Carbon County who are interested in learning more about our fascinating hobby and sharing it with ‘newbees’ who may want to start their own hives,” member Billie Helwick says. “We also have a ‘bee hop,’ where we visit different beeyards to learn from each other.”
