Club Meetings
- The Mile Hive Bee Club meets at Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church, 1980 Dahlia Street, Denver CO 80220. Most meetings also offer a Zoom option.
- Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month January - November.
- 6:30 - 7:00 is typically a Q&A session with main meeting starting at 7:00 and covering topics across the board in beekeeping.
- We offer 9 "field trip" opportunities in the months of February through October.
- We strive to bring in speakers from local universities, businesses and offer up our own experience and knowledge to keep us all up-to-date on the very best methods and ideas as well as offer opportunities for socialization and networking (added in 2023 as result of club survey per members' request).
