Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Interested in Meeting other Beekeepers in your Village ?

It would be good if during the fall/winter months we could figure out which villages our beekeeper members live in.  We have one of the largest membership groups -- 96 as of Nov.5/11.

Then we could possibly form smaller sub-groups to lend support to our neighbors and possibly collaborate to purchase a honey extractor for each village (through a Neighborhood Small Grant). This would need to be done in the early spring.

So, if you're interested, would you post which village you live here ? If you are not interested in my idea, please also let me know.

Thanks.

Delighted to live in Cedar Cottage Village

Great Idea! I'm in Mount Pleasant, which falls under Main street Village. I love the idea of buying extractors for each group!
