Our History
Founded in 2014 by Michael Duchoquette and Bob Reneau, the Paseo del Norte Beekeepers Association is one of the largest regional clubs for both hobbyist and commercial beekeepers.
Our members range from those just starting out in beekeeping to seasoned hobbyists who have enjoyed this practice for years. Some have even used their knowledge and experience to become commercial beekeepers. All share a passion for the fascinating and remarkable world of honey bees.
The purpose of the Paseo del Norte Beekeepers Association is to provide members with engaging and practical information about honey bees and the “how-to's” of beekeeping.
The club also offers educational programs to the general public, covering honey bees, native bees, and the benefits of bees and beekeeping within our communities.
