Santa Ynez Valley Beekeepers

 

About

• The Santa Ynez Valley Beekeepers are a group of backyard beekeepers in the Santa Ynez Valley.
• Our beekeepers are unpaid volunteers who remove swarms as a community service. We are not a federal 501(c) organization, but donations are welcome as they help defray expenses, e.g. equipment and supplies, associated with removing and saving the bees.
• If you have a bee swarm or have an unwanted hive, please Report a honey bee swarm in the Santa Ynez Valley. We have members who are trained and experienced in the removal of swarms and established hives from a variety of different venues.
• If you'd like to become a beekeeper, we can mentor you as you learn to be a responsible beekeeper.
• Our meetings are held monthly at
  St. Mark's in the Valley Episcopal Church Los Olivos, CA.
