Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild The Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild is a local organization that promotes urban beekeeping and raises awareness of the importance of bees to our environment.

The Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild has grown from what began in 2009 as a small, informal group of local beekeepers. Because of the swift growth of our membership, The Guild quickly established itself as a not for profit organization, and meetings are now held regularly on the third Thursday of each month. On facebook, we also have a Philadelphia Bee Keepers group, where many of our active members and others share questions and ideas.

Thanks for your interest, and we hope to see you at our next meeting!

Lambert Street Trap-Out Makes the American Bee Journal! šŸ

The Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild is excited to share that a story about one of Philadelphia’s more unusual bee rescues has been published in this month’s American Bee Journal.
The article, written by Guild board member and beekeeper Mark Berman of , tells the story of a colony that had taken up residence inside a sewer on Lambert Street and the 7-week long process of getting those bees out without simply destroying the colony.
It’s a story about urban beekeeping, problem-solving, a whole lot of bees, and the neighbors that came together to protect them.
šŸ“° Check it out in this month’s American Bee Journal.
