Central Ohio Beekeepers Association (COBA) is a non-profit organization 501 (c)(5) in the State of Ohio and is dedicated to promoting bees and beekeeping in Central Ohio. They are beekeepers helping other beekeepers.
They provide educational opportunities throughout the year and sponsor a Beekeeping School specifically for military veterans. This opportunity is similar in design to MOS training and is of no charge to the selected applicants. Through this program veterans have found community with each other but also have built relationships with more experienced beekeepers that can expand beyond that topic.
More information on COBA and their Veterans Beekeeping school and application can be found on the COBA website.
