The first meeting of the Kits Urban Bees Collaborative = beginning our classes with Markus Storhas of Bee in Bloom Apiary will be this coming TUESDAY - JUNE 19th, 2012 from 6-8 pm at The Billy
Bishop VFW Hall, 1407 Laburnum Street.
(Just off Cornwall Avenue, between the Kits Beach and Maple street stops of the #2 & #22 buses)
*** Please RSVP yes or no ... so we know about how many people to expect for the Tuesday meeting. ***
This first meeting will be bee theory and questions and the second
meeting will be Friday when Markus shows us one of his hives at his house.
The ongoing class, which will meet several more times over the next
two months, will be limited to a small group of folks who will be raising bees and / or helping to take care of the Kits Urban Bees Collaborative's hive.
No previous beekeeping knowledge is necessary just a commitment to follow through with the hive tending.
This fabulous opportunity has been made possible through a Greenest City Fund neighborhood small grant, administered through the Kitsilano Neighborhood House, with funds from
the Vancouver Foundation.
Look forward to BEE ing with you,
Pia Massie

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
