Long Beach Beekeepers
Back by popular demand, and just in time for spring!
If you want to learn how to prep wooden frames in preparation for the big nectar flows of 2025, please join us on FRIDAY, January 24. Our frame-builders will be sharing their skills with club members. Why buy new when you can reuse? Working with donated once-used medium frames, we will clean, rewire, and add foundation for sanctuary use (and a few extra for you). For this process, we will be using specialized equipment, which will limit the number of participants per session. There will be two sessions, back to back, in order to accommodate as many students as possible. Please enroll in only ONE session, not both. Registration will be cancelled for participants who enroll in both.
Sessions: Morning 9AM - 12PM; Afternoon 12PM - 3PM.
Available to current LBB members. ALL ATTENDEES MUST BE REGISTERED - NO DROP-INS OR ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANTS. Reserve your spot by registering now. Once the class fills, you will be able to join the wait list. We will notify you if anyone cancels.
This event is free of charge and is available to members only. REGISTRATION FOR ALL ATTENDEES IS REQUIRED.

On the last Sunday of the month, the Willow Springs Bee Sanctuary will be open for volunteers to come and help maintain, clean, and organize our site from 9am to 11am. Registration for this event is required.
List of tasks will vary from month to month.
Beekeeping 101 is an introductory class that will give beginners a glimpse into the secret lives of honeybees. The class includes instruction, discussions, and suiting up to inspect the hives in the bee yard, weather permitting. We invite guests to take the class more than once, as there’s always something new happening in the hive.
NOTE REGARDING SPACE: Beekeeping 101 is currently offered twice a month, at two separate apiaries. Space is limited and the classes fill very quickly. Reserve your spot by registering now. Once the class fills, you will be able to join the wait list. We will notify you if a space opens up, or you will get priority registration for the next Beekeeping 101.
Registration for Moore Garden opens January 7. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.
Long Beach Beekeepers meet on the first Sunday of the month and welcome everyone from the experienced to the novice beekeeper to those just curious about beekeeping. The in-person meeting is open to the general public. Members who opt to attend online will be emailed the meeting link and passcode.
In addition to a guest speaker, meetings feature a Honey of the Month tasting and an opportunity drawing. What a sweet deal!
Special thanks to EDCO Recycling & Transfer for hosting our meetings.
Ready to join other club members in spreading the BEE LOVE? Please join us at the First Fridays table on the first Friday of the month. We always need new volunteers to help out. Even if you're new to beekeeping and think you don't know enough, you can help! By hanging around us, you already know more than the general public. And you know what they say... teaching something helps you to learn it better yourself. So come spread the word! Whether you are able to attend for all or part of the event, your help is always appreciated.
