The Buzz…

Welcome to the Santa Cruz Bee Guild, we’re so glad you’re here!

We’re a friendly, volunteer-run community of beekeepers from all walks of life, from first-year hobbyists to seasoned veterans. Whether you keep bees for passion or profession, or you’re simply curious about bees, you belong here.

We meet monthly to swap stories, troubleshoot hives, and learn from guest speakers. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month — check the meetings page for details.
