CIBA is an organization of beekeepers - novice to advanced.  We are one of the oldest beekeeping clubs in Iowa, promoting honeybees since 1947.  Our mission is two-fold; to advance the art of beekeeping and honey production, and to promote close coordination, cooperation and fellowship amongst members of the organization.  Your donation gives us the ability to meet our club's mission, which includes educational opportunities and resources to beekeepers at every stage of his/her journey.   

You can choose to donate to CIBA, to the general CIBA program fund, which assists with our beekeeping educational and resource mission, to the CIBA royalty program, which supports our Queen/Ambassador program, to the Youth Scholarship program, or to the Bees & Beyond program, which supports our pollinator education program.
