While we love talking about honey bees, we like to have fun, too. In addition to our monthly club meetings, there are opportunities for casual socials throughout the year, as well as our annual holiday party, where we try to outdo one another with honey-based recipes.
Monthly Meetings
The OCBA meets the second Thursday of every month from 7:00 pm to about 9:00 pm. At the beginning of each meeting, we enjoy snacks and social time. In keeping with our spirit of continued learning, each meeting features a guest presenter who speaks on timely and educational beekeeping topics. We reserve the final 15 to 20 minutes of each meeting for club business.
These meetings are all on Zoom until further notice due to COVID-19.
Meeting location:
1710 Old NC Highway 10
Hillsborough, NC 27278
Pre-Meeting Dinner Socials
Prior to the monthly meeting, members meet for a casual dinner at Radius Pizzeria & Pub at 5:00 pm. It’s a great chance to catch up with friends and talk about honey bees. Everyone is welcome (and responsible for his or her own bill.)
These are currently suspended due to COVID-19.
Volunteer Opportunities
Our club runs on lots of volunteer hours. We encourage you to play a role in raising awareness about honey bees and beekeeping by volunteering for an upcoming event or project. It will be a great way to have some fun and get to know your fellow beekeepers. Check our calendar below for an opportunity that interests you.
