Welcome to the home of the Umpqua Valley Beekeepers Association!
Formerly Douglas County Bees
After eight years as Douglas County Bees, the time has come for a bit of a glow-up. No longer focused on just the county, and bringing our club's identity more inline with our parent organization, the Oregon State Beekeepers Association, it was definitely time for a change. We're very excited about the new year and all the bees and bee friends we've yet to meet!
