Open Hive Dive!
0 of 12 slots filled
This weekend, some generous club members will share their own hive inspection with new and prospective beekeepers. If you’re about to get your first bees, or if you’re still nervous about handling the bees you got and want to see how others do it, this is what you’ve been waiting for. It’s a free opportunity to see a hive inspection and handle bees with a more experienced ACBA member.
There are three events on Saturday, April 15, and two on Sunday, April 16, all around the Bay Area.

Grow Your Own Colonies!
0 of 12 slots filled
Club member Greg Mau is hosting a free event this Saturday to learn how to grow your own queen cells.
“If you are want/need to learn how to handle and/or utilize queen cells to make queens, I will host a get together this Sat at my place in Fremont. The goal would be for you to learn what it takes to put a Mating NUC together on Sat, to put one (or more) together yourself at home Sun, and to pickup your cell(s) and seed your NUC(s) on Mon. If successful, you will have a mated queen (or queens) by the end of May. Please call or text if you want to reserve a space on Sat... and remember to bring a bee suit as we'll also be going through a few previously seeded NUCs to check for queen and/or queen signs.”
