Club Apiary 2026

Our  "Sweet Ass Learning Apiary" at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary will have its next learning day on June 27th, 2026. Register HERE for June!

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.

June  Meeting

At our meeting next meeting on June 11th, we will be have Jeremy Mitchell of Flying Bee Ranch come talk about varroa and mite treatments. Flying Bee Ranch is a family owned small-business located in Salem, Oregon.  They sell all things related to bees. In addition to an extensive list of beekeeping equipment, they sell honey, pollen and beeswax.  

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.
