Visit SignupGenius_(KHPAlink) today to register as a volunteer.

As a way to promote honey bees and their products, each year we sponsor a booth at the Kansas State Fair. Our booth at the fair is in the Pride of Kansas Building. The 2018 fair runs from September 7 - 16, 2018.

We rely on our membership to help man the booth, and would appreciate any time you have to offer. This is a wonderful time to interact with the general public. Meet with the public and share your beekeeping knowledge.

Questions? Please contact 2nd VP, Kristi Sanderson via email. She'll get back with you asap.

The Kansas Honey Producers Association

aka Kansas State Beekeepers

As the state organization for Kansas beekeepers, we provide connections for beekeepers across the state. We do this in several ways:

We hold 2 meetings a year with outstanding speakers and workshops. Our Spring Meeting is held in March, and the Fall Meeting in October.
We publish a quarterly newsletter, which includes events and meeting and articles and information helpful to our state beekeepers.
We also provide public education and service about beekeeping. Our members are speakers to garden clubs, schools, and other educational groups. We have established apiaries throughout Kansas; have participated in educating groups to become beekeepers.
We have representatives who attend national beekeeping meetings to assure that we have current knowledge available to us in Kansas.

SignUpGenius makes our organizing and coordinating so much more efficient.

It makes it easy to publish our entire volunteer event calendar in one single, accessible place, removing the administrative burden of tracking and reporting. It reduces errors. It encourages participation because everyone can see who else is signed up. I can focus on fair preparation instead of organizing. We simply cannot imagine coordinating the KHPA Honey Booth event without SignUpGenius. Let us know your feedback!

Our most current newsletter (2nd Quarter 2018) of newsletter "The Cappings" (download) is available. For questions about membership or registration, please send us an email. We will help you with any issues you may have in this regard.
