Upcoming Bee-Related Events

 
 

Each year, in addition to our monthly meetings, SFBA conducts a two-part “Introduction to Beekeeping” class for members and non-members who want to learn more about beekeeping.  We participate in the Randall Museum’s annual “Bug Day” event in April, we have a club picnic in September and we have a holiday party in December.  We also sponsor an urban beekeeping yahoo group, which is open to members and non-members alike.  We periodically sponsor, and co-sponsor with other organizations, special talks and educational events related to honey bees, beekeeping and/or native bees.
