Welcome to the Lane County Beekeepers Association!

February General Meeting

Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Location: Irving Grange, Eugene, OR

Lane County Bee School 2026

Seasonal Reminder:

Mid-winter is the time to start preparing for the coming beekeeping season. Think about your goals for the year. Do you want to grow your apiary? Maximize honey production? Or simply keep the healthiest bees possible? Whatever your objectives, now is the time to prepare, ordering extra boxes and frames, replacing worn equipment, and considering queen replacement if your queens are two to three years old.

If you’re new to beekeeping and need bees, the club is planning to purchase “nucs” (nucleus hives) from a local commercial beekeeper and offer them to members at a great price. So prepare now, 
spring has a way of arriving suddenly and joyfully, and you’ll want to be ready!

 I welcome your questions and comments. Please feel free to talk with me at meetings or social events, or reach out by message anytime.

Happy beekeeping!   Norm
