Arnold Elementary is interested in having a presentation for their 2nd graders on bees and pollination.
On Saturday, November 15, Maple Village Waldorf School presents its annual Harvest Faire, and the Long Beach Beekeepers have been invited to participate, alongside our beloved bees. The Harvest Faire is a day full of wonderful activities for all ages, but especially for elementary aged kids. This is an all-day event. Setup is 10:00-11:00; event is 11:00-4:00; take-down 4:00-4:30.
Shift times: 10:00-12:00 (set-up and greet visitors), 12:00-2:00 (greet visitors), and 2:00-4:30 (greet visitors, take-down).
We will have an observation hive, the education hive (box with posters), and honey sticks. Feel free to bring your own miscellaneous props (e.g. hive tool, smoker, veil), but be sure to take them with you when you're done with your shift.
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. Recommended for ages 8+.
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. For children under 8yo, please contact us to be placed on the list for our next "Beekeeping 101 for Kids" class.
Registration for Zaferia Junction opens October 31. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.
Ready to join other club members spread the news about honey bees? Please join us at First Fridays in Bixby Knolls. Even if you're new to beekeeping, 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.
Registration for Moore Garden opens November 4. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.
