Join OSBA

The Oregon State Beekeepers Association (OSBA) is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting the health of honey bees and advancing the practice of beekeeping through research, education, and community engagement. All beekeepers are welcome and encouraged to join.

Report a Swarm

Honeybee swarming is a natural part of their reproductive process. Though the sight and sound of a swarm may seem frightening, please know that the bees are simply looking for a new home! You can help the bees by contacting one of our volunteer beekeepers to come and collect them.

Annual Conference

Our annual Conference and Fundraiser brings together beekeepers, researchers, and pollinator advocates from across the region. This event features expert-led lectures, research updates, networking opportunities, and a vibrant auction to raise funds for honey bee research.

Make a donation

The OSBA Research Fund provides an opportunity to support vital research in beekeeping and pollinator health. Each year, proceeds from the OSBA Fall Conference auction and donations received throughout the year—dedicated to research by a vote of the membership—are contributed to this fund. Donations and auction purchases together make it possible for the association to distribute funding annually to a variety of research programs that advance the science and practice of beekeeping.
