The Oregon Master Beekeeper Program represents a cooperative effort between Oregon State University Extension and the Oregon State Beekeepers Association to contribute to both the health of honey bee colonies and the integrity of the practice of beekeeping throughout the region.

The Oregon State Beekeepers Association (orsba.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of honey bees and to the fields of beekeeping, apiculture, research, and education.

The OSBA are a diverse bunch of individuals who share a fascination for the honey bee and its workings. Its members range from full-time beekeepers and pollinators with thousands of hives to hobbyists involved in back-yard beekeeping.

"Friday in the Apiary" is an opportunity to gather, visit, and learn more about beekeeping at OSU's apiary at the Oak Creek Center for Urban Horticulture. Every third Friday of the month, you are invited to come and discuss hive management strategies for the month and get to know other beekeepers. This is a casual, loosely structured event intended to provide a learning experience in a relaxed setting.
