We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm except in August (we have a picnic) and December (we have a party). Club meetings feature speakers, demos, and often giveaways. We are doing hybrid meetings, so you can choose to come in person or participate via Zoom. We meet at Creator Lutheran Church at 13250 SE Sunnyside Rd in Clackamas. You do not need to be a member to attend!

Join us at the PMBA "Sweet Ass Learning Apiary" at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary to get hands-on experience with honeybees. 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. It is located at: 15900 S Thayer Rd, Oregon City, OR 97045 The Oregon Donkey Sanctuary is kind enough to let us use their land for our apiary. They do have a locked electronic gate at the entrance to keep the Donkeys in. We have a 15 minute window to get into the sanctuary from 10:45-11:00. Plan to get there during that time window as we cannot let people in early or late.
