Amazon Neighborhood is all abuzz with the activities of a new bee co-op which helps interested persons raise their own bees, assist others to raise bees, or simply own and host their own hive managed by other co-op members.

Co-Op members installed 8 new hives last Saturday in Amazon and two in other areas.  This week we captured a swarm and installed an 11th hive.

Interested persons can learn more at amazonbeepeople.blogspot.com or are welcome to contact David Stucky at david.stucky@gmail.com or 541.543.6458.

Anyone in Amazon interested in working with me to form a neighborhood bee co-op is invited to an informal brainstorming meeting March 18th 5:30pm at McMenamin’s East 19th Street cafe.

The season to make new hives is rapidly approaching, but there’s still time!

Goals I have in mind are:

  • Increase the number of bee-friendly hives in the neighborhood
  • Work with others to enjoy these wonderful creatures
  • Produce lots of great hyper-local honey!

I build my own hives and can help other co-op members do the same in my shop for cost of materials.  Swarm season is coming soon and will provide opportunities to start new hives.
