Our club was organized in 2009 and has grown to more than 200 members! The purpose of our club is to create and develop interest in honeybees and beekeeping in the Black Hills and beyond. The Wannabees provide a public forum to share knowledge and mutual interests in beekeeping for the benefits of our members, the general public, and the environment around us. Our website offers anyone interested in honeybees a variety of information to guide you into their world. It also chronicles our club activities and archives our discussion topics, as well as posts announcements on topical news and opportunities when appropriate. Thanks for dropping by and we hope you enjoy your stay!
