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. Do you have a group that would like to meet our bees? Email us at contact@longbeachbeekeepers.org. |  RESOURCESBe a responsible beekeeper and a good neighbor by complying with local beekeeping ordinances. Beekeeping equipment maybe purchased at local shops and online. Here are some reputable outlets that carry hive boxes, frames, protective gear, honey bees, honey extraction tools, jars and more. The club does not remove swarms, but we can point you in the right direction for some reputable beekeepers. |
