ABOUT US
The Cooke County Texas Beekeepers Association began in 2018 as the Elm Fork Beekeepers Association. The name was changed in 2026 to better reflect the beekeeping community we serve. We are a nonprofit ethical organization focused on educational outreach to help others learn about the critical importance of honeybees as well as best management practices for beekeepers. Keeping bees requires lifelong learning, and through our active mentorship program and classes we seek to provide education and enrichment for new and veteran beekeepers.
Updated bylaws coming soon!
