    Hi Robert,
    Great to hear from you and your interest in connecting with other local beekeepers. As you may have read on the VV beekeping site I have been asking people who sign onto the Village Vancouver Beekeeping site to let me know where they live and if they would be interested in part of a neighborhood beekeeping group. If you are willing to host an initial get-together with approx 6 -10 beekeepers from your neighbourhood please let know at anna@villagevancouver.ca ...that is how our Main street beekeepers group (with 10 people) got started (your group can decide how many members you want per group - we found a group of 8-10 works best as some people cannot make some gatherings (last year the main street group had three gatherings) I usually hold a meet and greet for beekeepers in the spring or fall but this fall I have to pass as my partner and I just had twins three weeks ago.
    Best wishes, Anna
