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 and form relationships that will help along the beekeeping journey. We have a limited number of bee suits are available to use as well.
Anyone interested in bee or beekeeping is invited, even if they aren't currently keeping bees.
MeetingsWe meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm except in August (we have a picnic) and December (we have a party). We are now doing hybrid meetings so you can choose to come in person or participate via Zoom. We meet at our new location, Creator Lutheran Church, 13250 SE Sunnyside Rd in Clackamas. Everyone is welcome to attend! Members can find recordings of past meetings under the Member Pages tab.
