Purpose
Welcome to the Red River Apiarists' Association (RRAA), where passion for honeybees and a commitment to their well-being bring our community together. We are dedicated to promoting the health of honeybees and celebrating the amazing products they produce, from golden honey to beeswax and beyond.
As a member of the RRAA, we offer:
Educational sessions led by industry experts and innovators, providing valuable insights into the world of beekeeping.
Whether you're a seasoned beekeeper or just starting, our mentoring opportunities allow you to learn and grow with the guidance of experienced members.
We also believe in the importance of community, which is why we host fun and friendly social activities, making our club a welcoming place for everyone who shares our love for bees.
History
We are a Manitoba beekeeping club founded in March 1963. Located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The club’s location is geographically situated in Manitoba’s Red River Valley and thus takes the name Red River Apiarists’ Association.
We offer social activities and regular meetings that focus on information and education as it relates to anything to do with honey bees. We talk about honey bee health, northern cold climate management, honey nectar sources and pollination to name a few of the many subjects we discuss.
Our strength is bringing together all beekeepers, experienced or beginner, urban or rural, as well as those who are interested and may want to become beekeepers one day. Encouraging beekeeping and honey bee health in Manitoba is the focus of the Red River Apiarists’ Association.
