Category: Local clubs Also called: NEOBA; NorthEast Oklahoma Beekeeper’s Association (Tulsa, Oklahoma); neoba.org

What it is

The Northeast Oklahoma Beekeepers Association (NEOBA) is a local beekeeping club for Tulsa and the surrounding Northeast Oklahoma region. Its home page describes it as a group of local beekeepers that promotes beekeeping to the public and supports fellow beekeepers, giving presentations to schools and civic groups, hosting beginner classes and organizing an annual beekeeping conference called the “Big Bee Buzz.” The club meets on the second Monday evening of each month, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, at Wright Christian Academy in Tulsa, typically with a speaker and Q&A on bee management. Members also get a monthly “What’s Buzzin’” newsletter, a book lending library and video library, a members-only monthly “Let’s Talk Bees” Zoom (last Tuesday, 6:30 pm) and a mentorship program that pairs new beekeepers with experienced ones. This listing is for the local club, not a supply store or a single course.

A: Per the home page checked 2026-10-30: the second Monday evening of each month, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, at Wright Christian Academy in Tulsa, OK, typically with a speaker and Q&A.

The class costs $65 per person after membership, and you must join the club first. The home page says classes run twice a year (fall and late winter) and the club typically graduates over 150 new beekeepers a year.
