The Minnesota Beekeepers Association (MBA) is made up of commercial and hobby beekeepers.Our association is one of the largest in the United States today.

The MBA was one of the founding members of the Minnesota Agricultural Society and today continues to maintain very close ties with the University of Minnesota Bee Lab.

In 2025, the members of the Minnesota Honey Producers Association voted to go back to our historical name, the Minnesota Beekeepers Association, to reflect the great diversity in apiary operations.
