The San Francisco Beekeepers Association is the premier organization for beekeepers in our city. They work to promote the welfare of honeybees and other pollinators, as well as those who manage or just help to support them. Among specific activities, SFBA does public outreach on behalf of bees to schools and civic groups, conducts classes to train new beekeepers, collects and relocates swarms that show up in San Francisco, provide low-cost bee-related services to active beekeepers and promote safe, community-friendly and environmentally sound beekeeping practices.
