Monthly meeting of the Local Bee Initiative at Manor Grill in San Leandro. Food and drink available. Take a hard left when you enter the restaurant.
FULL: this event is full to new beekeepers who don't have their own bee suits -- if that's you, please join us October 14 for the next hive dive. Club members who have their own suits are always welcome, though.
Join a bee inspection at our new club apiary! If you don’t yet have your first bees, or 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.
If you're planning on attending, please email webmaster@alamedabees.org so we can keep a list of who to expect.
Monthly ACBA board meeting (scheduled for the third Wednesday of each month). For board members and invitees. Join via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3254895194?pwd=QlE2L3RJSUZBM1BkQTYyU1VhZzR4UT09.

We'll also be working on the pollinator-friendly demonstration garden; if you'd like to hang out with fellow beekeepers and do a little garden work, this is a great place to be! More helpers are always welcome. Phil Stob and other gardeners will be there beginning even earlier, at 10 AM.
If you're planning on attending and you're new to beekeeping, please email webmaster@alamedabees.org so we can make sure there are enough beekeping suits (etc.) available.

Join Sung Lee for a mite treatment demonstration at the club apiary!
Sung has over 80 hives and also manages many clients' hives. He has not lost a single hive by mites in the past three years since he implemented his own I.P.M. (integrated pest management). Sung says “bring your questions, and listen to what I do and how I do it”.
Help Phil Stob work on the new pollinator garden at the club apiary!
We'll be hauling wood from the curb to the garden (get your steps in), leveling and arranging the edging, raking out the wood chips from the beds, adding wood chips to the pathways, turning over the soil a bit and hoeing under the bind weed.
Bring, if you have them: wheelbarrow, hoe, pitch fork, garden rake, leaf rake, a happy attitude, ideas for the new garden.
