Membership Application

Club Apiary 2025

We are anticipating having our first session at our "Sweet Ass Learning Apiary" at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary on March 29th weather permitting. This is a great way to get hands-on experience with honeybees. It will be on the last Saturday of each month. Sign ups for the sessions will start 2 weeks 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.  Sign up Here


Upcoming events

MARCH CLUB MEETING

A big thank you to Dr. Ramesh Sagili from the Oregon State University Bee lab!  His talks are always very interesting and informative and club members can find his presentation on Varroa and Nutrition on the Members Pages menu.

Coming up: April will be Joey Rosario  from WSU and May will be our own David Martinez. 


Bee Day is April 26th!

REGISTER HERE

This is our annual signature club event held at the Foothills Honey Company in Colton Oregon. Bee Day is an opportunity for people interested in beekeeping to explore it hands-on and learn from experienced beekeepers. Attendees get to look inside real, live colonies and see how bees are handled, ask questions of honeybee experts, and form relationships that will help along the beekeeping journey.  Bee Day is for anyone interested in bees or beekeeping, even if they aren't currently keeping bees. 


Nuc Sales

Once again, we are happy to offer nucs from the Foothills Honey Company.  This year they will be $170 and we will probably get them in mid to late April(date to be determined).  Club members  can now place your orders at our online store. Order Here
