Long Beach Beekeepers
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 Moore Garden opens October 8. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.
Meet the inspectors! This month we welcome Deputy Romalyne Eng and Inspector III Sunny Thompson from the Los Angeles County Apiary Program, part of the County's Agricultureal Commission/Weights and Measures. Their presentation will include changes to the registration process slated to begin next year - important information for backyard beekeepers.
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 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.

This event is free of charge. REGISTRATION FOR ALL ATTENDEES IS REQUIRED and available to club members only.
