Long Beach Beekeepers
Our friends at Long Beach Beer Lab are brewing something special for us - a honey fig lager made with honey from our very own apiary! Come to the release party to see - and taste! - what all the buzz is about. Drink up because Long Beach Beer Lab will make a donation to the club based on honey fig lager sales that day.
Fun fact! The honey is from our Willow-Springs Bee Sanctuary. Any and all members who participated in a hive inspection or harvested harvest from the Sanctuary from January through July of last year or attended the honey extraction workshop played a role in the production of this honey. The Sanctuary is located just 1.6 miles from Long Beach Beer Lab by car so even closer by flight, well within a bee's flight range. Did the bees forage in the Beer Lab neighborhood? Maybe! If you want local honey, this is IT!
If your January is dry or you just don't drink beer, we've got you covered. The Beer Lab is making a refreshing non-alcoholic slushee with Sanctuary honey for the event. Yum! Their pizzas are fantastic and provide one last way to enjoy our honey. The chef is crafting a specialty pizza with honey for the release party.
Want to take some beer home? Bring a growler and tell the barkeep to fill 'er up.
All are welcome in this family and pet friendly establishment in the Wrigley neighborhood.
The Willow Springs Bee Sanctuary will be open for volunteers to come and help maintain, clean, and organize our site from 11am to 1pm. Registration for this event is required.
Work to be done will be determined beforehand, but possible tasks may include:
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.
