Hi there,
I joined ACBA a decade ago now and while I no longer live in East Oakland (near-ish to the zoo) I kept my old place: the concrete slab where I had three of my beehives is still there and open for new hives if anyone would like to put theirs there!
The lot is full of plants, fruit trees, and is irrigated. The bees there have produced some amazing honey in the past. The yard is not the easiest to navigate, being on a partially terraced hillside, but I can help move hives if needed.
Feel free to drop a line off-list if you're interested! Paul
