The Northwest Georgia Beekeepers Association is inviting area residents to a special club meeting focused on protecting honeybee hives from pesticide exposure, with guest speakers scheduled to answer questions and share practical information for local beekeepers.

The meeting is set for this evening, Monday, January 12, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., at the Walker County Agricultural Center, located at 10052 U.S. Highway 27 North in Rock Spring.

Organizers say the program will cover topics including the pesticide incident complaint process through the Georgia Department of Agriculture, a DriftWatch registration demonstration to help beekeepers understand pesticide application activity in their area, and a Q&A session with pesticide and safety educators.

The association says the event is open to everyone—no membership is required—and is aimed at supporting both experienced beekeepers and those who are new to the hobby.
