Join Us

Joining the SBBA won’t get you a cool sticker or a secret handshake. But it will gain you admission to all of the SBBA’s members-only apiary meetups, which are held four to six times a year. And you’ll also be supporting the SBBA’s mission of “Helping People Help Bees,” through education, outreach and advocacy right here on the Central Coast.

We think that’s a lot more valuable than a secret handshake. And who’s shaking hands these days, anyway?

SBBA In Action

Advocacy

The SBBA is an annual exhibitor at Santa Barbara’s Earth Day Festival. Our live observation beehive mesmerizes young and old alike, and stimulates a broad range of conversations about the amazing honey bee and actions we can all take to ensure its survival.

Classroom

The SBBA provides engaging classroom experiences for students in grades K – 12. Led by Melissa Cronshaw, these classes educate students about the importance of honey bees and what we can all do to help protect and preserve this vital species. To date, the SBBA has worked with over 25 local schools.

Education

Our highly popular Beginning Backyard Beekeeping (B3) course equips aspiring beekeepers with everything they need to know in order to start hosting bees in their own backyard. Our apiary meetups serve new beekeepers as well as veteran beeks who want to continue learning through hands-on experiences.

Rescue

The SBBA plays a vital role in the community by assisting with the safe removal and relocation of bees, through advice, referrals and hands-on support.
