Hive in Winter  If you have just found the IEBA and are looking for information on beekeeping in the northwest, join us at one of the meetings to get the latest local apiary news, straight from the beekeepers mouth.
The IEBA recently lobbied for and successfully passed through the city counsel, a proposal to change the City zoning code to allow hobbiest beekeeping in the city. This practice is safe, educational, and beneficial to the public. Other cities that have had great success at allowing beekeepers to manage their hives in the city are Boise, Vancouver, San Francisco, Seattle, Fort Collins, and many more. To learn more about urban beekeeping regulations, and about this intriguing hobby, visit the Spokane Zoning Enforcement Page. For those of you new to our site InlandBeemail.com©, the Inland Empire Beekeeper's Association serves bee-keeping hobbiests and apiary professionals of the Inland Northwest from Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. The IEBA was established to promote beekeeping in eastern Washington state and the Idaho panhandle. The association and this site are intended to provide a public educational resource for honey, bees and the incredible hobby (and for some the profession) of beekeeping. Our aim is to promote the world of honeybees and apicultural activities. For anyone interested in learning more about beekeeping, we invite you to join us at our monthly meeting. The Association is located in Spokane, Washington and holds meetings on the second Friday of each month. The meetings are that the Spokane County WSU Ag Extension Office on Havana in Spokane, Washington. The meeting starts at 6:30 PM with Officers and Board meetings. At 7:00 PM is social time and at 7:30 PM the general meeting starts. The IEBA is a member of the Washington State Beekeepers Association who keep their home at http://www.wasba.org.  Multi-colored hive bodies create an eye-pleasing honey bee village. From http://carniolan.com |
