The San Francisco Beekeepers Association conducts frequent presentations at schools and community centers to help educate children and the public about honeybees. Below is a list of some of these events in recent years.
Our presentations are intended to broaden public understanding of the biology of honeybees and their importance to the SF ecosystem. They also include demonstrations of how city beekeepers manage bees, including — if desired — a “visible hive” showing live honeybees at work under a sheet of protective glass.
The sessions are offered entirely free, subject only to finding a mutually convenient time for our volunteer presenters, who are all active beekeepers in the city. To learn more about these presentations or inquire about scheduling one for your school or event, please click here to contact us.
