We want you to join the Central Coast Beekeepers Alliance
Dues supports the Alliance, builds fellowship among local beekeepers
A generous donation allows the Alliance to gift a live, strong two-deep colony with a 2025 Jeremy Rose Queen to sponsor the development of a deserving club member’s apiary.
The receiver of this gift will be selected by lot from dues-paid CCBA members who have submitted a sponsorship application, and demonstrate sufficient skills and experience to grow their apiary.
To ensure the colony gift will be successful we are including a “mentoring” commitment to the recipient from veteran Alliance members.
If you are an Alliance member (and its not too late to join) please fill a live colony sponsorship application at:
22501 “I” St. (next to Library, Cross of Murphy St.)
Program will be an introduction to the flavors and tastes of varietal honey, with honey sampling for all.
Tutorial on summer bee care: Water in the apiary and hive cooling, pollen “sub” to extend the brood season, the summer dearth and syrup feeding, protection from robbing.
Anna Mumford will be bringing caged mated Carniolan queens for sale from her grafts, $35. You must pre-order queens, message or text Anna 8OS-459-673O (note display number is munged with letters for spam protection)
David Baldwin is ‘down-sizing’ his apiary, and has multiple full colonies for sale and transfer, he will be available to take reservations for these at the meeting.
