Beekeeeping is part of the Village Food Group and Neighbourhood Food Network

Dear beekeepers and other beekeeping enthusiasts,

I encourage you to become part of a neighbourhood group where you can meet in person with other beekeepers regularly (or with people interested in beekeeping). Steve and I are part of a group of about 10 beekeepers that was created last spring. We had a couple of get-togethers last year and it was invaluable (and fun!) to learn from each others’ experiences. So far I have responses from people who would like to start a group in the Commercial Drive area, Dunbar and North Vancouver. I suggest creating groups based on where you live - having people that live near by who can lend a hand (or hive box if your bees swarm!) can be very helpful.

 

Please note that during Anna's absence, you may contact Steve Sandve (beekeeper) or Cylia for questions and help furthering ideas related to beekeeping.  (Click on the links at their names above to open up their Village page, and write them a note on their Comment Wall.)

Hi everyone,
I have a friend who has started out with beekeeping recently and is now looking for his own equipment (suit, veil, smoker). I thought I'd check here if anyone has any to give away before he looks into buying. Thanks!

Hello fellow beekeepers,

I've been keeping bees for about 4 years now and am interested in connecting with other beekeepers in the neighbourhood! Myself and my boyfriend Joe live on E.19th. Joe has an earth-friendly wasp and bee removal company called JoeWasp (www.joewasp.com), and as such we often find ourselves with honeybees on our hands that need a home.

We are currently looking for a home for 1, possibly 2 honeybee swarms. We would love to hook fellow Vancouver beekeepers up with honeybees. If you are looking for bees and might be interested in purchasing a swarm, please contact us!

Hey'all,

It's been a while since I've had my hands on the honey, but everywhere I turn I am reminded of the wonderful functional beauty of this art and science.

Interested in networking and getting some new inspiration.

this would be a very useful site to access when someone needs help with their hive(s). often 2 people are better than one for many of the
chores.
