What it is
The Utah County Beekeepers Association (UCBA) is a local beekeeping club in Utah County, Utah. It meets on the second Thursday of the month at 7 PM at Utah Valley University (UVU), 815 West 1250 South, Orem, UT 84058, as printed in the banner of its official site. Its mission is “to provide a forum in which local beekeepers can share ideas, discuss the culture, explore methodologies, and support one another,” and to educate the public about beekeeping in Utah County. The club runs a swarm-report page, a beginning beekeeping class, and a youth “Bee a Beekeeper” (BAB) program. This listing is for the local club, not a store and not a university course.
