Tarabeekeepers Association

June 16th, 7PM
Speaker: Deb DeWitt
Topic: Making Beeswax Luminaries (Demonstration)

Master Beekeeper Deb DeWitt will demonstrate how to create a variation of the traditional candle—a beeswax luminary bowl. Easy to make, these handcrafted luminaries are not only beautiful keepsakes but also emit a sweet honey scent and a tranquil glow. In addition, Deb will bring an assortment of her favorite beeswax items she makes for holiday markets.

Deb is a Master Beekeeper and serves as Central Regional Director for the Georgia Beekeepers Association. She is also the current Beekeeper in Residence with the Georgia Tech Urban Honey Bee Project. Deb keeps bees at her home in downtown Atlanta, near Arabia Mountain and in North Carolina.

Tara Beehives Have Moved to College Park!

Tara Beekeepers Association is excited to partner with The Metro Atlanta Urban Farm (MAUF) in College Park!

MAUF is a five-acre, certified naturally grown farm dedicated to empowering communities through agriculture. Founded in 2009 by Bobby Wilson, the farm provides fresh, pesticide-free produce and education to promote healthy living in urban areas. Committed to making fresh, affordable food accessible to all, MAUF also works to reduce barriers to healthy living in both urban and rural communities by promoting agriculture and STEM education.

This spring, Tara Beekeepers relocated their apiary to MAUF, bringing exciting benefits:

Hands-on learning opportunities for club members and new beekeepers.
Bee education for MAUF students and the surrounding community.
40,000 tiny pollinators ready to support the farm’s gardens!

Stay tuned for updates as our bees settle into their new home!

Membership is $25, and includes family members.
