Our 2025 Beginning Beekeeping class was on Saturday, March 8th.  37 new beekeepers learned about bees and beekeeping and were able to open and examine hives in the beautiful Central Valley sunshine.

If you are interested, we are compiling a waiting list for consideration of a second class later this Spring.

Our 2025 Annual Beekeepers’ Symposium was held Saturday, February 22nd at the Dadant Store & Warehouse.  It was a resounding success.

Nearly 100 people came to hear updates and a presentation from the 2025 AFB Honey Princess.

Come join us at our next CVBA Member’s Meeting.
