  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.

  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.

  1. Free!
  2. ONLINE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, INCLUDING GUESTS. NO DROP-INS OR EXTRA PEOPLE, PLEASE.
  3. No prior experience is needed.
  4. Wear long thick, loose, lighter colored pants; closed-toed shoes, preferably BOOTS; and thick long socks. For safety reasons, persons without proper coverage (e.g. wearing shorts, sandals, booty socks, etc.) will not be permitted to participate in the hive inspection.
  5. Please bring drinking water.
  6. Please provide loaner bee jacket size at the time of registration.
  7. Be aware: there is always a possibility of bee stings. 

  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 April 13. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.

  Long Beach Beekeepers is pleased to announce a special speaker for our May meeting, Dr. Lars Chittka. A professor of sensory and behavioural ecology at Queen Mary University of London, Dr. Chittka is a leader in the field of insect intelligence and has carried out extensive work on the behaviour, cognition and ecology of honeybees and their interactions with flowers. In his book, Mind of the Bee, Dr. Chittka reveals that although small in size, bee brains are unmatched in the animal kingdom for the content of sophisticated material. We hope you will join us for what is sure to be a fascinating conversation.

  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.
