Membership Application

Club Apiary 2025

Come learn about honey bees at our "Sweet Ass Learning Apiary" at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary.  This is a great way to get hands-on experience with honeybees. It will usually be on the last Saturday of each month. Sign ups for the sessions will start approximately one month before each one and close the Thursday before. You can sign up on our website HERE. The program is designed for beginning to intermediate beekeepers to learn about hive management strategies for the month. This is a casual, loosely structured gathering intended to provide a learning experience in a relaxed setting.  


Upcoming events

Dead OUT or Disease?

If you have a colony that you think may have a disease or has died out, we have trained club members who are willing to help you sort it out. Contact us here

November'S meeting

For our November meeting our speaker is going to be Paul Stromberg and we are going to talk about Honey Bee Sex. (As Jamie says, "PMBA After Dark"). We will talk about mating biology and  genetics and how this is relevant to many facets of beekeeping. This should be fun and really informative so mark your calendars!
