February Meeting

This is going to be a good one that you won't want to miss!  Zachary Lamas from the University of Maryland is going to be our guest speaker! He is at the forefront of varroa research and his work has resulted in a paradigm shift in how beekeepers manage varroa. Zac studies virus transmission in honey bee colonies.  He is currently in California studying virus transmission in queen bees.

Membership Application

Club Apiary 2026

Our  "Sweet Ass Learning Apiary" at the Oregon Donkey Sanctuary will have its first learning day on March 28th, 2026. Register here for March!

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.
