Welcome to LBBA

Meeting Location

We meet in the gym at the Corvallis Waldorf School at the intersection of Conifer Blvd and Hwy 20.  The address is 3855 NE Hwy 20.  Meetings are the 3rd Wednesday of each month.  Times are 6:30-8:30.   See you there!!

Our goal is to provide an association of local beekeepers where we can learn, share and have fun. We have both local and national speakers at our monthly meetings providing you with current and relevant subjects to help you with your bees.

LBBA also provides outreach to the community by providing educational speakers, swarm removal and public exhibits.

-Free use of the club’s extraction equipment

-Use of our book and DVD library

-Discount to Bee School

-Inclusion on Swarm List

-Discount to American Bee Journal magazine

This months speaker is Melanie Kirby speaking on Beekeepers United, Queens Bridging Field and Research.

Past Zoom Meetings

During the pandemic, we have continued our club meetings by having Zoom Meetings. Once things settle down and the Waldorf School will allow us to have "in person" meetings at their facility, we'll go back to regular meetings.

Thank you for being patient with us during this time.
