Long Beach Beekeepers
Beekeeping 101 is an introductory class that will give beginners a glimpse into the secret lives of honeybees. The class includes instruction, discussions, and suiting up to inspect the hives in the bee yard, weather permitting. We invite guests to take the class more than once, as there’s always something new happening in the hive. Recommended for ages 8+.

Once the class fills, you will be able to join the wait list. We will notify you if a space opens up, or you will get priority registration for the next Beekeeping 101.

Your busy bees spent their spring gathering nectar and making honey. Then you bravely removed the honey supers. Now what?
Join us and learn how to extract that honey. This hands-on workshop will cover both high- and low-tech methods of processing honey: an electric honey extractor, a hand crank extractor, the crush and strain method, plus how to cut comb. Learn how these methods can yield different results in comb preservation and honey.

Ready to join other club members spread the news about honey bees? Please join us at First Fridays in Bixby Knolls. Even if you're new to beekeeping, you can help! By hanging around us, you already know more than the general public. And you know what they say... teaching something helps you to learn it better yourself. So come spread the word! Whether you are able to attend for all or part of the event, your help is always appreciated.
In addition to a guest speaker, meetings feature a Honey of the Month tasting and an opportunity drawing. What a sweet deal!
