Upcoming Meetings:

March 18, 2026 6:30-8:00 PM

• Swarm Season is Upon Us with Del Voss, @DcHoneyGuy. Del went viral with an Easter swarm at Union Market last year, but he has loads of on-the-spot swarm experience and advice from across our city. He will tell you about tools old and new, what to pack, and how to both be prepared for and have a ton of fun with our annual swarm season! Link to Register for Zoom

April 15, 2026 6:30-8:00 PM, IS IT SPRING YET?

• Creating a Pollinator Paradise with Fred Nichols: Fred and his wife, beekeepers out of Montgomery County, have transformed a spent Maryland farm into a regenerative, native-plant dense pollinator preserve using resources that include federal grant funding. Fred will explain why and what they did, how they did it, and will share seeds for your own personal urban Eden.

May 20, 2026 6:30-8:00 PM, 

• Non-Traditional and Non-Langstroth Hive Types with Allen Storm, Maryland Apiary Inspector: Sure, you've heard of Top Bar Hives, and maybe Warres, but what do you know about Long Langs, Layens, AŽ, Apimaye? Well, multi-decade, multi-contential Apiary Inspector Storm has 'em all right here in the MidAtlantic! He also loves to tell beekeepers more: cost, management, success, next ideas. Zoom TBA.
