Saturday in the Apiary is a casual, loosely structured event intended to provide a learning experience in a relaxed setting. It usually takes place on the second Saturday of the month. Times may vary. We perform hive inspections, discuss colony management strategies for the month, and implement them.
Everyone who is comfortable being around live honey bees is welcome. You will need to bring your own gear (veil/gloves). A limited number of veils are available upon request.
This is a free event.
Invitations to the next workshop, which include an RSVP button, will be sent 7 to 10 days prior to the event to those who signed up for the COAREC (Central Oregon Agricultural Research and Extension Center) mailing list.

Because the Environmental Center is undergoing a major remodel, COBKA will meet at Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Bend. Please help spread the word so we don’t have anyone showing up at the old spot! Google Map
