Club Meetings
We meet at 10AM on the first Sunday of every month. Meetings feature a guest speaker and provide an opportunity to ask questions, get expert advice and share expertise on hive management. All experience levels welcome.  

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

We love bees and we are eager to share our passion. In additional to our classes focused on training aspiring beekeepers, Long Beach Beekeepers spreads the word at one-time and recurring events. Observation hives - one frame of honeycomb and bees from a working hive - enable us to show the inner workings of life inside the hive.

Our bees have traveled to preschools, home schools and elementary schools; neighborhood associations and street fairs; Girl Scout troops, garden clubs and Earth Day events.
