SBGMI sets the standard for how beekeeping organizations/clubs should be run. The resources and education offered through SBGMI encourage members to stay committed to learning new concepts and techniques in sustainable beekeeping. My honest opinion of many state and county organizations is that they are stagnant which makes it difficult to want to stay engaged with the community. I appreciate that SBGMI offers a wide array of engagement opportunities that truly add value to your own apiary. Keep up the great work, SBGMI!
