RIBA works to raise the standard of beekeeping as well as to educate the general public about the value of beekeeping. They host monthly membership meetings in which both new and experienced beekeepers can collaborate with one another. Membership includes access to the Association’s extractor (for a small rental fee) as well as a newsletter. In addition, RIBA offers beginner beekeeping classes and participates in local fairs and other events to promote beekeeping and to sell honey.
