Thank you all for coming out and participating in our annual Bee Day! It's always one of the highlights of the year.  Thank you to the Hansens for once again hosting this event at the Foothills Honey Company.  It was sure great to see so many new beekeepers getting a chance to see the bees! Also a shout out to Andony Melathopoulos and John Rockrohr for great lectures!

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

Club Apiary 2026

Our  "Sweet Ass Learning Apiary" at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary will have its next learning day on July 25th, 2026. Register HERE for July!

Monthly meetings will be topical training based on the beekeeping season, on the last Saturday of each month.  This apiary is a great way to get hands-on experience with honeybees. Sign ups for the sessions will start approximately one month before each one and close the Thursday before.  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.  


Swarm Hotline

Do you have a swarm of bees that just landed in your yard?  Not sure what to do?  We have experienced beekeepers who will come remove that swarm and find a new home for them. Click HERE for instructions. The swarm hotline will be closing at the end of July. 

July  Meeting

At our meeting we are going to be talking about all things related to honey harvesting.  There will be demonstrations of equipment and lots of tips and pearls of how you can take honey supers off and then how to go about extracting. 


Annual Club Picnic

This year we will be returning to Max Patterson park on Saturday August 8th from 11-3pm.  This event is always a highlight of the year and a great opportunity to get to know your club members. This is a pot luck.  The club will provide hamburgers, hot dogs and condiments.  Bring your water bottle.  As always there are going to be many prizes to be given away. You can register Here

CLUB EXTRACTOR

 Our extractors and extracting equipment loaning is now done for the year.  It was used more than ever before.  Thanks to Nancy for managing it for us this year. It will be available again next year starting in June.   Learn more about it HERE


Queen REaring Course

We had a great Queen Rearing course.  We had an almost 70% take of our grafts this year.  That's impressive for first time grafting.
