Long Beach Beekeepers
Come join us at Willow Springs Bee Sanctuary, to learn about Italian bees with Bill Lewis. Italian bees display different behaviors and require different care than our local "survivor" bees. Mites must be managed year-round to ensure the colony’s survival. This class is recommended for second-year+ beekeepers. Protective gear is required (suit/jacket, closed shoes, gloves), and drinking water is recommended. This is an ongoing series that takes place approximately every three weeks, and space is limited to 6. ALL ATTENDEES MUST BE REGISTERED - NO DROP-INS OR ADDITIONAL PEOPLE. 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, or you will get priority registration for the following event.
This event is free of charge. REGISTRATION FOR ALL ATTENDEES IS REQUIRED and available to club members only.
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 Saturday, January 25. 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.

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.
