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


June CLUB MEETING

This month's club speaker will be one you won't want to miss.  Andony Melathopoulos will be our speaker.  The talk will be "Should Portland Ban Beekeeping?" - The Willamette Week Article and Discussion on Beekeeping in Urban Spaces. 


Special Guests at our Apiary in June

This June 28th we are delighted to have Caroline Breece and Dewey Caron as our hive presenters.  Carolyn is a Research Associate at the OSU Bee Lab.  Dewey Caron is Emeritus Professor of Entomology at the University of Delaware and Affiliate Professor, Dept. of Horticulture at OSU.  He has written numerous books on beekeeping. Both are amazing educators and this should be a great way to learn about bees. You can sign up Here
