Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
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,
I was wondering if anyone else will be extracting honey soon? I have 4 (Langstroth) frames of capped honey to extract and no extractor. This is my first year.
Thanks, Asia

I Need to borrow an extractor. Any one know of one that is available? I once saw an ad for one on Shared Harvest but cant find the ad.

Hi, I'm with Viva Collingwood Multicultural Summer Plaza, and the main theme of our festival is Recycle/Repurpose/Reinvent. We would love to have someone present information on beekeeping. Our festival time begins, August 24 and runs until September 3. Please contact me if you want more information.
Thanks, Andrea Berneckas
It's official -- cell phones are killing bees.
