NJBA President's Message February/March 2012

Fellow Beekeepers- I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the members of NJBA, and in particular those executive Board members with whom I have worked very closely over the past two years. Being President of NJBA has been an educational opportunity and a challenge and I am proud of the accomplishments both at the state and branch levels.

The work is far from complete, but we are a far more energized and organized community than ever before in our century of existence. NJBA is no longer simply a responsive body, but rather a proactive organization looking towards the future for beekeeping and engaging those members of society that will insure beekeeping will thrive as the 21st century unfolds. From gathering and disseminating information that makes all beekeepers better, to actively promoting beekeeping to local governing bodies to insure the legality of beekeeping-our work has just begun!

NJBA is quickly becoming a powerful organization of 1000 family memberships which easily represents over 2500 people throughout our great state.

In closing, I simply want to thank all of the members as my presidency ends, welcome in the new executive board and encourage all of you to volunteer at the branch level and contribute to a millennium old tradition-Beekeeping

Seth Belson, NJBA President
