Hello, I am Michael, I began beekeeping 6 years ago and am now privileged to serve the club as librarian. Living just south of Topeka I appreciated being able to snag a book at the meetings.
And not having to make a special trip.
I'm glad you have made it to the NEKBA's Library page. We are working on purchasing more children's and entry level books. Follow the 'book link' to see a list of books and resources we currently have available. The only requirement is that you be a member to check them out.
Remember we are human beeings not human doings. So, bee still and know there is more to learn!
We have just acquired 6-8 new books so be the first to look inside. From beekeeping in northern climates to Queen rearing, apiary management and developing your own IPM protocol; I am sure you will find a book that fits your place in the food chain. Bring your questions to the next meeting and have them answered 6 different ways!! Well maybe one way for now.
I look forward to seeing you at the monthly meetings and don't forget to check the events tab on the NEKBA home page, we have Spring and Fall meetings as well as opportunities to serve in the Kansas Honey Producers Association (KHPA) booth at the State Fair in Hutchin. The first Saturday in June is NEKBA Fun Day and it is all about Honey Bees, find a place to plug-in and grow!!.
NEKBA Library Update by Michael Hewitt September 16, 2025
Thank you for your interest in membership to the Northeastern Kansas Beekeepers’ Association. Welcome aboard! One of our greatest assets besides our members is our library of books and videos related to bees and beekeeping. These can be checked out for free at our regular monthly meetings for a monthly term.
Generally, we would like them returned in a month at the next meeting. This 'past due' link will let you be sure you have returned all the ones you've checked out.
Taking a break from the physical work associated with bee keeping is good for your soul! What better way to spend some of the 'no fly days' (said of our bees on inclement weather days.) than reading. Recharge your batteries by slowing down and reading. What better way to spend time with the family than helping the youngins' learn to read... with a book and not a screen.
