Long Beach Beekeepers
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.
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 May 5. Wait list from the previous session will get priority registration.
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.

FLUENT ENGLISH SPEAKERS: Due to the high number of fluent English speakers who would like to learn beekeeping terminology in Spanish, we will work on creating a glossary of Spanish beekeeping terms. We would like to keep this class accessible to people who are not fluent in English, as well as their companion regardless of language ability. That is truly our target audience for this class. Please register for this class only if you will be the companion of a limited-English speaker. Thank you.
The Willow Springs Bee Sanctuary will be open for volunteers to come and help maintain, clean, and organize our site from 9am to 11am. 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.
