Residential Beekeeping

Honey bees play an important role in the residential community, providing pollination for the beekeeper’s property and for properties up to two miles away. Many residential beekeepers in Oregon belong to urban chapters of the Oregon State Beekeepers Association (OSBA).

The Bee Line is the official newsletter of the Oregon State Beekeepers Association. This community content focused newsletter offers news from beekeepers around the region including what's in bloom, how to care for your hives, updates from our regional affiliate associations, and more!

Affiliate Associations

The OSBA has affiliate branch associations located all over the state! These local associations are a wealth of knowledge, community, and support for beekeepers of all skill ranges. Find an association near you!
