The Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Through the volunteer efforts of LACBA members we raise monies throughout the year at events such as the LA County Fair Bee Booth, LA Zoo Spring Fling, Honey Harvest Festival and other endeavors. Through honey sales at various events and donations to our organization, we gain the funds necessary to provide educational and informational opportunities such as the Randy Oliver Workshop.
Please come to our LACBA Meeting and learn more about the Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association.

LACBA/BASC Members
Volunteers Are Needed
at the
Los Angeles County Fair Bee Booth

Message from Cynthia Alvarado
Bee Booth Chair Person

Hello Fellow Members/Beekeepers:
We have 2 weekends left in the 2019 Fair Season.  I want to thank all the members that have come to support and continue to participate in the event.  The public greatly appreciate the information that you provide to educate them about bees and beekeeping.

Your volunteer participation is greatly needed at:

The Observation Hive
To Educate Others

This is a great opportunity for new beekeepers (especially those who attended our LACBA Beekeeping Class 101) to share the information you acquired about bees and beekeeping with the general public. Come out and meet your fellow beekeepers and you’ll learn more than you ever dreamed possible by sharing your knowledge with others.

The Honey Table

Proceeds from honey sales go to benefit the bees through honey bee education and research.

There are still 8 days left of the fair and many spots need to be filled.  Check your email - Your E-vite came through Sign-up.com (Copy Los Angeles fair). Review the Schedule for the dates that do not say Full, and please Sign-up. If you did not receive your E-vite, check your spam. If you don’t have the E-vite, call me (323) 243-0756 and I will be happy to resend or help you schedule a day and shift time.

Come, be a part of helping the honey bees.

Thank you,
Cindy

Los Angeles Zoo - Spring Fling

Spring Fling

The Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association will be hosting a ‘Honey Tasting’ (like a ‘Wine Tasting’) during the Los Angeles Zoo 2019 Spring Fling. For six weekends beginning Saturday, March 23 through Sunday, April 28, 2019. LACBA members will be on hand offering samples of a variety of local honeys. We’ll also be selling local honey as well as providing education about honey bees and answering questions. We will also have a 30 minute slot every day on the stage next to our Honey Bee Booth to talk about beekeeping.
