Each year, KSBA recognizes one of its members as the outstanding Beekeeper of the Year. This award recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to beekeeping, not only locally but also statewide. The recipient is announced at the KSBA Fall General Meeting.

Anyone can make a nomination. To make a nomination, contact an officer of your local bee club. Your club officer will work with you to write the nomination. Your club officer sends the nomination to any member of the KSBA Board of Directors. Each year in the fall, all nominations are reviewed and voted upon by a panel of the past Beekeeper of the Year award winners.

Stay tuned to the KSBA Beelines newsletter and news when we announce this year's call for Beekeeper of the Year nominations.
