The Indiana Beekeepers' Association (IBA) was started in 1998. With educational focus and with members statewide, it has become Indiana's largest beekeeping group (over 1,150 members). Year round programs help to keep its members up-to-date on all matters about beekeeping. Its key programs include:

• A February Indiana Bee School held in Indianapolis on the last Saturday of the month (attended by over 600 in 2013). Check out the "Indiana Bee School" under the Contact Us tab for information on the next school scheduled.

• April and May Spring Field Clinics held throughout the state.

• Participation in Indiana State Fair providing the public with Honey Ice Cream, various honeys from all over the state, an observation hive and answers to the public's questions.

• A November Fall Conference at a State Park, for 2013 it will be held at Clifty Falls on November 8 & 9, 2013.

• Creating, supporting and strengthening of local beekeeper groups.
